Editorial Note of an Endometrial and Parotid Cancer Patient with a PMS2 Germline Mutation

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most common cancer in both men and women, and it is the leading cause of death from cancer in Puerto Rico. Lynch syndrome (LS) is involved in 2-4 percent of familial CRC cases, accounting for 10-15% of all CRC cases. The prevalence, clinical manifestations, and genetic mutations of hereditary CRC in Hispanics in the United States are all unknown. Author(s): Fleur Delacour*
