Lynch Syndrome Testing for Colorectal Cancer

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most diagnosed cancers within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) at nearly 4,000 diagnoses per year. It’s the second leading cause of cancer death for both men and women in the United States.

Lynch Syndrome testing can help identify a patient’s generic predisposition for CRC, which can in turn help family members understand if they may be at risk.
