Kurzfassung:
What's new? Although rare in the general population, duodenal cancer is among the malignancies with the highest standardised incidence ratio in patients with Lynch syndrome. Primary tumours in the duodenum are accessible by esophagogastroduodenoscopy, thus offering a surveillance option. However, surveillance data in this patient population is scarce and guideline recommendations are vague and inconsistent across the world. This retrospective analysis of the German Consortium for Familial Intestinal Cancer registry reveals that early detection of duodenal cancer in Lynch syndrome patients by upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is feasible and potentially beneficial regardless of age, personal tumour history, and family history.
