Research
Mayo Clinic researchers are actively investigating new ways to identify and care for people with Lynch syndrome. They also are looking into new ways to prevent cancer.
Mayo Clinic doctors have made many important discoveries that have contributed to the improved care of people with Lynch syndrome. For example, Mayo Clinic researchers were among the first to recognize microsatellite instability (MSI) in cancer cells. Those researchers developed a microsatellite instability test to find Lynch syndrome in people with colon cancer. MSI testing helps identify which cancers are most likely to be caused by Lynch syndrome.
