Brief Summary: The goal of this study is to create a registry of information about women who have or are at risk for Lynch syndrome in order to study gynecologic cancer risks

This is an investigational study Up to 1000 patients will take part in this study All patients will be enrolled at MD Anderson
Detailed Description: Lynch Syndrome

In women with hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer syndrome HNPCC also called Lynch syndrome the lifetime risk for endometrial cancer increases to 40-60 and the risk for ovarian cancer increases to 12

Study Procedures

If you agree to take part in this study basic medical and family information will be collected You will be asked to fill out a baseline starting questionnaire which will ask personal information such as age ethnic background medical and family history and health habits All information will be kept confidential Some information may be gathered from your medical record It should take about 30 minutes to complete this questionnaire

Once a year for 20 years you will be asked to complete a follow-up questionnaire The follow-up questionnaire provides researchers with an opportunity to study possible health issues andor changes that may have occurred since your last visit This questionnaire should only take about 15 -20 minutes to complete

If you have a history of endometrial or ovarian cancer or develop endometrial or ovarian cancer while on study researchers will collect copies of the diagnostic and surgery reports from your medical record and will ask you to fill out an additional questionnaire about symptoms of endometrial cancer This should only take about 15 minutes to complete

Researchers will also collect several leftover tissue samples from your surgery if you have had surgery These samples will be stored and used to perform molecular studies to characterize Lynch syndrome tumors The samples will be kept securely in a lab at MD Anderson

Before your leftover tissue samples can be used for research the people doing the research must get specific approval from the Institutional Review Board IRB of MD Anderson The IRB is a committee made up of doctors researchers and members of the community The IRB is responsible for protecting the participants involved in research studies and making sure all research is done in a safe and ethical manner All research done at MD Anderson including research involving your leftover tissue samples must first be approved by the IRB

Length of Study

At the end of the study you may be invited to participate in a follow-up study During your participation in this registry study researchers will inform you about related studies for which you might be eligible You will have the option to take part or not to take part in them Your active participation in this study will continue for up to 20 years total
