Risk of Metachronous Colorectal Cancer After Segmental or Extended Resection in Patients with Lynch Syndrome

Key Points

• To evaluate the effectiveness of extended versus segmental resection in reducing metachronous colorectal cancer risk in Lynch syndrome patients.
• Compared outcomes of extended resection and segmental resection.
• Included patients with high-risk Lynch syndrome gene variants.
• Evaluated overall survival and risk of metachronous colorectal cancer.
• Extended resection significantly reduced risk of metachronous colorectal cancer.
• Segmental resection showed potential as an alternative with proper surveillance.
• Overall survival rates did not differ significantly between surgical approaches.
