Leading up to Lynch Syndrome Awareness Day

​

📢 Did you know? Lynch syndrome is the most common hereditary cancer condition, affecting 1 in 279 people—yet 95% don’t know they have it.  It increases the risk of colorectal, endometrial, ovarian, and other cancers. Early detection and screening save lives.  This Lynch Syndrome Awareness Day (March 22), join us in spreading the word! Know your family history. Know your risk. Take action. https://www.aliveandkickn.org/  #LynchSyndromeAwarenessDay #KnowYourGenes #LivingwithLynch #IamAliveandKickn​

---------------------------------

🚨 Are you at risk for Lynch syndrome? If you or a close family member have had colorectal, endometrial, or other Lynch-associated cancers before age 50, you might need genetic testing. 🩺 Talk to your doctor about hereditary cancer screening—it could save your life and the lives of your loved ones. 📅 Mark your calendar for March 22 – Lynch Syndrome Awareness Day and help spread awareness! 📌 #GeneticTesting #LynchSyndromeAwarenessDay #EarlyDetectionSavesLives #LivingwithLynch #IamAliveandKickn

🧬 Lynch syndrome is an inherited condition caused by mutations in genes that repair DNA damage. The most common genes affected are:

🔹 MLH1

🔹 MSH2

🔹 MSH6

🔹 PMS2

🔹 EPCAM

If you have a mutation in one of these genes, you may be at a higher risk of certain cancers. The good news? Regular screenings and preventive care can reduce this risk. Learn more: https://www.aliveandkickn.org/ 📌 #Genetics101 #LynchSyndrome #HereditaryCancer
