Learn About Lynch Syndrome

Does someone in your family have Lynch Syndrome? Are you concerned about Lynch Syndrome because you developed a cancer early or one of your family members did?

First, let's talk about genetics and how your cells and DNA should replicate and correct for mutations. Then, let's understand what Lynch Syndrome is and how a person with Lynch Syndrome differs from someone who does not. Then I discuss the cancers that a person is most likely to get if they have Lynch Syndrome. Afterwards, I talk about why people with Lynch Syndrome will experience different cancers at different times and how different factors can affect when those cancers arise. Part of this depends on which genes are affected. Additionally, I discuss how prevalent Lynch Syndrome is.

Should you get tested for Lynch Syndrome? I explain who should get tested and when it doesn't make sense. The 3-2-1 Rule is a great measure for knowing if you should be tested!
