Small bowel cancers, B-cell lymphatic leukemia, and six primary cancers with metastases and prolonged survival in the cancer family syndrome of Lynch.
The Cancer Family Syndrome of Lynch (CFS) is characterized by the frequent occurrence of multiple types of cancers, often adenocarcinomas of the colon, endometrium, and breast, at early ages in a pedigree pattern suggesting an autosomal dominant mechanism of inheritance. An unusual CFS pedigree is presented in which members exhibited rare cancers, six primary cancers, and prolonged survival.
