- Abstract
The case is a woman in her 70s with a history of colon and cervical cancer in her 40s. She had gastric cancer and breast cancer in her 70s. Her eldest son died of colon cancer in his 20s, and her eldest daughter had cervical cancer in her 40s. She was suspected to have Lynch syndrome and a genetic diagnosis was performed and then confirmed. Later she developed gastric cancer and ureteral cancer. We report a case of Lynch syndrome in which she developed seven cancers in five organs, all of which were early stage cancers.
