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.

No opposition to the reuse of healthcare data for research purposes
Disqualifiers
Absence of documented MMR gene variant
Opposition to the study
Trial population
Patients carrying a pathogenic variant of the DNA mismatch repair gene (MMR) (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2, EPCAM) with at least one SBCE for screening of small bowel (pre)neoplastic lesions over the study period (Jan 1st 2000 - Dec 31st 2024),

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
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
Secondary outcomes
Proportion of adverse events during SBCE
Completeness rate to evaluate technical performances of SBCE
completeness rate is the entire small bowel visualized, depending on past surgical history
Small bowel recording duration to evaluate technical performances of SBCE
Recourse to endoscopic techniques (duodenal release) when the capsule cannot be ingested or ingestion has failed to evaluate technical performances of SBCE
