A member asked:
History of lynch syndrome. sisters endometrial biopsy said limited tissue available, but benign. should it be redone to rule out cancer if symptomatic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lynch syndrome: Lynch syndrome is an inherited condition that increases your risk of colon cancer and other cancers including endometrial cancer in women. If your sister is symptomatic and does have Lynch syndrome a suboptimal biopsy is not sufficient to rule out endometrial pathology. Further workup is warranted.
