Lynch Syndrome Risk Models
Instructions to participants:
All participants are encouraged to answer questions 6-9. Participants registered to earn CEUs are required to answer questions 1-5 and score a minimum of 80% (4/5 correct). You will be able to re-take the quiz until a passing score is reached. Participants who are not interested in CEU credit, please select the "Not interested in CEU credit" option for questions 1-5 and answer only questions 6-9.

Correct Answer
B. Receiver Operating Characteristic CurveExplanation
The ROC Curve stands for Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve. This curve is a graphical representation of the performance of a binary classifier system as its discrimination threshold is varied. It shows the trade-off between the true positive rate (sensitivity) and the false positive rate (1-specificity). The ROC curve is commonly used in machine learning and diagnostic medicine to evaluate the performance of classification models.Rate this question:

Which model does not account for tumor location or MSI/IHC?
- A.
PREMM1,2,6
- B.
MMRpro
- C.
MMRPredict
- D.
All of the models account for MSI/IHC
- E.
Not interested in CEU credit
Correct Answer
A. PREMM1,2,6Explanation
PREMM1,2,6 is the model that does not account for tumor location or MSI/IHC. This means that when using this model, the prediction or analysis does not take into consideration the specific location of the tumor or the results of MSI/IHC testing.Rate this question:

PREMM1,2,6
- B.
MMRpro
- C.
MMRPredict
- D.
None of the above
- E.
Not interested in CEU credit

Which model requires that the proband be affected with colorectal cancer?
- A.
PREMM1,2,6
- B.
MMRpro
- C.
MMRPredict
- D.
None of the above
- E.
Not interested in CEU credit
Correct Answer
C. MMRPredictExplanation
MMRPredict is the model that requires the proband to be affected with colorectal cancer. This means that in order to use the MMRPredict model, the individual being tested must have a history of colorectal cancer. The other models listed, PREMM1,2,6 and MMRpro, do not have this requirement.Rate this question:

Which model provides cancer risk estimates in addition to mutation risks?
- A.
PREMM1,2,6
- B.
MMRpro
- C.
MMRPredict
- D.
None of the above
- E.
Not interested in CEU credit
Correct Answer
B. MMRproExplanation
MMRpro is the model that provides cancer risk estimates in addition to mutation risks. This model is specifically designed to assess the risk of colorectal cancer in individuals with Lynch syndrome. It incorporates various factors such as age, sex, family history, and tumor characteristics to calculate an individual's lifetime risk of developing colorectal cancer. By providing both mutation risks and cancer risk estimates, MMRpro allows healthcare professionals to better understand and communicate the potential risks to their patients.Rate this question:
