摘要

In a recent issue of Gynecologic Oncology, Woolderink et al. reportedon ovarian cancer characteristics among two cohorts of Dutch patientswith Lynch syndrome (Woolderink et al., 2018). Detailed clinical andpathological descriptions based on large series of patients with geneticsusceptibility to cancer are always welcome, and the authors shouldtherefore be praised for their e?orts. Such reports potentially helpcancer geneticists determine which patients need germline genetictesting, and what genes should be analyzed. Furthermore, betterknowledge of cancer risks among proven mutation carriers determineslong-term management, i.e. surveillance and risk reduction. However,we would like to express some reservations regarding the fndings byWoolderink et al., more specifcally the reported number of high- andlow-grade serous ovarian carcinomas among Lynch patients, an aspectthat is not properly addressed in the discussion. The study included 878women. Fifty-three had a history of ovarian cancer, nineteen of which(34%) were high or low-grade serous tumors. The high proportion ofserous tumors is surprising, since recent literature strongly suggests thatthere is no association between serous ovarian carcinoma and Lynchsyndrome. We have selected three high-impact papers to support ourclaims. Rambau et al. observed no protein expression loss for the fourmismatch repair (MMR) genes, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2 in 175serous ovarian carcinomas, while the proportion was 25/181 (13.8%)and 4/163 (2.4%) for endometrioid and clear cell tumors, respectively(Rambau et al., 2016). Expression loss as identifed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) is suggestive of Lynch syndrome, as is microsatellite instability (MSI) within the tumor, and subsequent germlinetesting of MMR genes is required to confrm the diagnosis. In a series of1893 women with epithelial ovarian cancer ascertained from threepopulation-based studies, Pal et al. diagnosed Lynch syndrome in only2/933 (0.2%) patients with serous carcinomas (Pal et al., 2012), afrequency that is inferior to estimations of Lynch syndrome frequencyin the general population (Hampel and de la Chapelle, 2013;Haraldsdottir et al., 2017). Finally, Chui et al. performed central pathology review of tumor subtype on twenty mutation-confrmed Lynchsyndrome ovarian carcinomas (Chui et al., 2014). Serous histology wasnot seen.
