Learning about Lynch syndrome genetic services for families
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a program to help families talk about genetic services for Lynch syndrome. It aims to support people who may be at risk but haven't yet had genetic counseling or testing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be a blood relative of someone diagnosed with Lynch syndrome
- You have not had genetic counseling or testing for Lynch syndrome yet

This study helps people with Lynch syndrome find ways to tell their family members about their diagnosis so those relatives can get tested. It aims to improve family communication and access to genetic screening.
This study is testing whether a simple blood test can safely replace some of the more invasive procedures used to monitor people with Lynch syndrome, a condition that increases the risk of certain cancers (especially colorectal and uterine). If the blood test works as well, it could mean fewer colonoscopies and other invasive tests for those with Lynch syndrome.
This study looks at the genetics and health of people with Lynch syndrome, a condition that raises the risk for certain cancers. Researchers want to learn more about how different genetic changes affect health over time.
This study checks tumor samples from people having surgery for colorectal cancer to look for a genetic condition called Lynch syndrome, which can increase the risk of other cancers. Finding it early can help you and your family take steps to protect your health.
This study follows adults with Lynch syndrome (an inherited gene change) using regular questionnaires and tracking health over time. It may help researchers understand how the condition progresses and improve care for people with these gene mutations.
This registry study looks at how many people with colon cancer also have Lynch syndrome, an inherited condition that can affect cancer risk. If you enroll, your care team collects basic information from your diagnosis to better estimate how common it is.
