Who is doing research on Lynch?

Hi Everyone,

I am having a difficult time finding a list of people doing research on Lynch syndrome. I can't find any papers written either. All I find is generic blurbs stating almost the same information over and over.

I am really looking for someone in the Philadelphia area. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Maryeileen

I responded to you and offered some leads on another thread. I'm also from the Phladelphia area. I don't know anyone specifically doing research here butI love my doctors at HUP. I wrote to Dr. Lynch himself, and he sent me an article and the name of colleague in Delaware who did my genetic testing. Also, have you contacted Lynch Syndrome International? They were enormously helpful to me.

Thanks. I did see your other message and wasn't sure if it was appropriate to out and out ask you who your doctors are. I did follow up on the leads you posted but it really didn't say who was doing what. I will revisit and search harder. My docs at Penn are Rustigi (gi & genetics) and Pegliese (derm). I joined LSI, thank you, they are good. I should e-mail them directly. Thank you again.

No problem. My doctors are Rustgi (gi) and Fakharzadeh (derm), I believe most of the research is being done at M.D. Anderson. I'm part of two research studies there.

Hi Torch100, I also live in the Philadelphia area. I am involved in a program through Lankenau Hospital. I also see a gastro/oncologist through Jefferson, and they have a study going on as well. The genetics team I work with through Lankenau are wonderful. They keep me updated on discussion, forums, and gatherings going on. They are in the midst of planning something I believe in the Fall. I will post it when I have more information. The doctor on my genetics team just sent me a thick update on the latest information for screenings and such. Let me know if you want any of these contacts, and I will happily get the information for you. Take Care.

    Food Allergy?

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
