"Subtotal colectomy is usually the therapy of choice in Lynch syndrome patients diagnosed with colon cancer  In patients who develop cancer after the age of 50-60 years  segmental colectomy is considered a good alternative  Although the endoscopic treatment of early colorectal cancer in non-Lynch patients has increased in the last decades  almost all patients with a Lynch syndrome-associated colorectal malignancy undergo surgery  even if the tumour is diagnosed in a  very  early stage  One of the endoscopic treatment options for early colorectal cancer is an endoscopic full thickness resection  eFTR   This treatment modality allows optimal pathological examination of the resection specimen  as a transmural resection is performed with optimal T-staging of the tumour  We report a case of a 62 year old man  diagnosed with MSH2-Lynch syndrome  who underwent successful eFTR treatment of an early  pT1  colon cancer located in the ascending colon  with no signs of recurrence 12 months after treatment  We discuss the pros and cons of endoscopic resection of early colorectal carcinoma in Lynch syndrome patients "
