Genetic Testing

Lynch syndrome genetic testing is a critical step in identifying individuals and families who may be at increased risk for developing certain types of cancer. Lynch syndrome is a hereditary condition that is caused by a genetic mutation that increases the risk of developing colorectal, endometrial, ovarian, gastric, pancreatic, and other cancers. Lynch syndrome screening typically involves a combination of genetic testing and family history analysis to identify individuals who may be at risk. It is recommended that individuals with a family history of Lynch syndrome or related cancers undergo screening, as early detection and prevention are key to reducing the risk of cancer and improving health outcomes. If you think you may be at risk for Lynch syndrome, speak with your healthcare provider to determine if Lynch syndrome screening is right for you.
