Inclusion Criteria:
* Participants must have Lynch syndrome defined as meeting any of the following: (1) Mutation-positive Lynch syndrome: carriers or obligate carriers (by pedigree) of a pathogenic mutation in one of the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) mismatch repair (MMR) genes (i.e. MLH1, MSH2/EPCAM, MSH6, or PMS2) or (2) Mutation-negative Lynch syndrome: patients with a personal history of a non-sporadic MMR deficient premalignant lesion (i.e. polyp) or a non sporadic MMR deficient malignant tumor (where non-sporadic MMR deficient is defined by: microsatellite instability high by either immunohistochemistry or microsatellite instability (MSI) testing or both, but no evidence of MLH1 promoter methylation in cases with loss of both MLH1 and PMS2, and/or no evidence of BRAF mutation in cases with loss of both MLH1 and PMS2) but germline MMR genetic testing showed either a variant of unknown significance or mutation negative result or had declined germline MMR genetic testing.
* Participants must not have evidence of active/recurrent malignant disease for a minimum of 6 months.
* Participants must be at least 6 months from any prior cancer-directed treatment (such as surgical resection, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, hormonal therapy or radiation).
* Participants must have endoscopically accessible distal colon and/or rectal mucosa (i.e. participants must have at least part of the descending/sigmoid colon and/or rectum intact).
* Participants must consent to two standard of care …
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
