| Abstract |
The surgical management of the Lynch syndrome patient with colorectal cancer needs to be individualized. Because of the increased incidence of synchronous and metachronous colorectal neoplasms, most favor an extended resection at the time of diagnosis of colorectal cancer. Age of diagnosis, stage of the tumor, co-morbidities, surgical expertise, surgical morbidity, and patient wishes should be taken into account when considering a surgical procedure. There are no prospective randomized trials or retrospective trials suggesting that patients undergoing an extended procedure have a survival advantage compared to those undergoing segmental resection. In retrospective studies it has been demonstrated that patients undergoing extended procedures will develop less metachronous colorectal neoplasms and will undergo less subsequent surgical procedures related to colorectal cancer. In females abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingoophorectomy should be considered at the time of surgery for colorectal cancer. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 9. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 June 2013.
All research outputs
#3,764,900
of 22,701,287 outputs
Outputs from Familial Cancer
#57
of 558 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#32,082
of 197,433 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Familial Cancer
#5
of 23 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,701,287 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 83rd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 558 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.2. This one has done well, scoring higher than 89% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 197,433 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 83% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 23 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% of its contemporaries.
