Lynch Syndrome: Prevalence

Описание: Everyone who is diagnosed with bowel cancer in the UK is tested for Lynch syndrome, an inherited cancer pre-disposition syndrome. The same is not true for womb cancer, despite the proportion of womb cancers related to Lynch syndrome being very similar.

Supported by gynaecological cancer charity The Eve Appeal, our academics are making the case that policy need to change, and all endometrial cancers be screened for Lynch syndrome – to improve womb cancer treatments, to increase early diagnoses of womb and bowel cancer, and to help more families prepare for the future.

Help us spread the word by watching and sharing our #LetsTalkLynch films, with new content released on every “Womb Wednesday” of this September’s Cancer Awareness Month.
