Abstract:
What's new? Physical activity is known to reduce colorectal cancer risk in the general population. Little is known, however, on the effect of physical activity for people with Lynch syndrome, who have a strong predisposition to colorectal cancer due to germline mutations in DNA mismatch repair genes. This study of 2,042 mutation carriers suggests that physical activity is inversely associated with colorectal cancer risk for people with Lynch syndrome. If confirmed, the potential modifying effect of physical activity could be useful for risk prediction in this sub‐population and inform recommendations on lifestyle modifications as a way to reduce colorectal cancer risk.
