You are faced with a young patient with an advanced colon cancer. You suspect Lynch syndrome. He asks if he should undergo total colectomy as opposed to segmental colectomy. How do you approach such a patient?

Join Dr. Carole Richard, Dr. François Dagbert and Dr. Maher Al Khaldi in their conversation about Lynch syndrome, also known as Hereditary Non-polyposis Colorectal Cancer (HNPCC).

Learning objectives
- To understand the rationale for universal testing for MMR deficiency of newly diagnosed colorectal cancers.
- To know when to recommend screening for CRC for patients with LS and to those who have undergone resection
- To understand the prevalence of cancers other than CRCs associated with Lynch syndrome, especially endometrial cancer.

0:24.3	Calling all surgical education junkies behind the knife is looking to add two new fellows
0:29.1	to our team. We are thrilled to be adding these positions. We've got so much great content
0:33.6	in the pipeline that we don't even know to do with ourselves. I'm talking big time projects
0:38.3	that are going to make a big impact on surgical education. We've got specialty oral board review,
0:44.0	medical student education, digital education research, and a trauma surgery video atlas just to name
0:50.9	a few. We're looking for a couple of enterprising surgical residents to take the bowl by the horns
0:56.6	and spearhead one of these major projects not to mention, help with the podcast, video,
1:01.8	and other ongoing exciting behind the knife goodness. We are offering a two-year fellowship

1:25.2	Okay, welcome back everybody from the colorectal surgery team from Montreal.

1:46.5	the manifestation, the challenges of the diagnosis itself, and also we'll discuss management

2:02.4	we're going to review two different cases that we actually treated here in our institution.
2:09.8	So let's start now with our first case. So my resident, you're in my office and you have a young
