Chondroma of the Nasal Septum.

Chondromas are benign cartilaginous tumours that rarely occur in the head and neck region. Only a limited number of cases have been reported involving the nasal septum. Here we report a case of a 55-year-old male that presented with a suspicious lesion involving his nasal septum and columella.

Universal tumor screening for Lynch syndrome: Perceptions of Canadian pathologists and genetic counselors of barriers and facilitators.

Background: People at risk of developing hereditary cancers associated with Lynch Syndrome (LS) can be identified through universal screening of colorectal tumors. However, tumor screening practices are variable across Canada and few studies explore the perspectives of genetic counselors and pathologists about tumor screening. This study was conducted to better understand the barriers and facilitators of implementing universal tumor screening in health centers across Canada.

Universal tumor screening for Lynch syndrome: perspectives of Canadian pathologists and genetic counselors.

Universal screening of all newly diagnosed colorectal cancer tumors can identify individuals at high risk for Lynch syndrome (LS), a hereditary cancer syndrome predisposing carriers to increased risk of colorectal, endometrial, and other cancers. To inform planning of a universal tumor screening program for LS in our jurisdiction, we undertook online surveys of Canadian pathologists and genetic counselors to describe existing tumor screening programs. Online surveys were hosted on SurveyMonkey between October 2016 and March 2017.
