About this trial

The impact of small bowel (SB) capsule endoscopy (CE) on the screening (followed by diagnosis and treatment) of (pre)neoplastic lesions of the small bowel in Lynch syndrome (LS) patients is unknown.

The iCARE4Lynch study is a retrospective cohort of patients carrying a pathogenic variant of the DNA mismatch repair gene (MMR) (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2, EPCAM) who had had at least one SBCE for screening of small bowel (pre)neoplastic lesions between January 1st 2000 and December 31 2024.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

proportion of patients in whom at least one small bowel pre-neoplastic (low or high grade adenoma) or neoplastic (adenocarcinoma) lesion, secondarily proven during follow-up, was identified, compared to the total number of patients with index CE in this

Diagnostic performance of index SBCE

Time frame
At the end of the study (12 month)

Secondary outcomes

1

Proportion of adverse events during SBCE

Time frame
At the end of the study (12 month)
2

Completeness rate to evaluate technical performances of SBCE

completeness rate is the entire small bowel visualized, depending on past surgical history

Time frame
At the end of the study (12 month)
3

Small bowel recording duration to evaluate technical performances of SBCE

Time frame
12 months
4

Recourse to endoscopic techniques (duodenal release) when the capsule cannot be ingested or ingestion has failed to evaluate technical performances of SBCE

Time frame
12 months
