Lynch Syndrome Management Procedure

Management of Lynch syndrome involves a stepwise approach starting with family and personal history analysis, followed by tumor testing and confirmatory germline genetic testing. Patients receive genetic counseling and, where applicable, tailored surveillance and preventive strategies, including risk-reducing surgeries. Each care plan is uniquely designed according to international guidelines.

Risk-reducing surgeries like prophylactic hysterectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy are available for women at high risk. Our colorectal team performs minimally invasive surgeries for early-stage cancers. Precision diagnostics and interventional endoscopy ensure accurate assessments with minimal patient discomfort.
