Abstract

PURPOSE: Understanding the genetic heterogeneity of Lynch syndrome (LS) cancers has led to significant scientific advancements. However, these findings are widely dispersed across various resources, making it difficult for clinicians and researchers to stay informed. Furthermore, the uneven quality of studies and the lack of effective translation of knowledge into clinical practice create challenges in delivering optimal patient care. To address these issues, we developed and launched the Precision Lynch Syndrome Knowledge Base (PLSKB), a specialized, interactive web-based platform that consolidates comprehensive information on LS.
