- Dominantly inherited micro-satellite instable (MSI) cancers, linked to mutations in mismatch repair (MMR) genes (MSH2, MLH1, MSH6, PMS2), challenge traditional views of cancer development and are associated with unique syndromes known as Lynch syndromes.
- Each Lynch syndrome has distinct risks and expressions, and it’s crucial to consider factors like specific gene mutation and sex when studying these cancers.
- Advances in colonoscopy surveillance, aspirin usage, and immunotherapy represent significant progress in personalized medicine for managing and preventing inherited MSI cancers.
Background: Gastroenterologists frequently face the dilemma of how to choose among different management options.
Aim: To develop a tool of medical decision analysis that helps choosing between competing management options of interventional endoscopy and surgery.
Methods: Carcinoma-in-situ of the esophagus, large colonic polyps, and ampullary adenoma serve as three examples for disorders being managed by both techniques.

Introduction: Risk stratification in upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) currently relies on clinical parameters and risk scores. HemoPill acute (Ovesco Endoscopy, Tuebingen, Germany) is a pill-shaped, orally administered sensor capsule for real-time blood detection. The aim of this study was to evaluate the system in clinical routine.
