Schwerpunkt Erbliche Tumoren
Das Lynch-Syndrom als bedeutendes erbliches Tumorsyndrom

Neben demhereditären Brust- und Eierstockkrebssyndrom ist das Lynch-Syndrom das häufigste erbliche Tumorsyndrom mit kolorektalen, gynäkologischen sowie Manifestationen an weiteren Organsystemen. Die sorgfältige ärztliche (Familien-) Anamnese ist vor allem im Hinblick auf die Früherkennung der prognostisch ungünstigen Kolorektalkarzinome sehr wichtig. Für assoziierte gynäkologische Tumoren sind Checkpoint-Inhibitoren vielversprechende Therapeutika.
