- Lynch syndrome is a hereditary cancer linked to DNA mismatch repair gene alterations, prompting the study to assess immunohistochemistry (IHC) and microsatellite instability (MSI) testing compliance in colorectal cancer cases.
- Out of 314 colorectal cancer resections studied from April to December 2022, 301 patients were included, revealing a 97.45% compliance rate with testing guidelines, though 13 patients had no testing results.
- Recommendations include creating a comprehensive feedback system for testing compliance and conducting further audits to ensure all eligible patients are tested appropriately.
