Lynch Syndrome is a genetic condition that increases the risk of developing certain types of cancer, particularly colorectal cancer and endometrial cancer. It is caused by inherited mutations in specific genes responsible for repairing DNA. Individuals with Lynch Syndrome have a higher likelihood of developing these cancers at a younger age compared to the general population. People with Lynch Syndrome may also be at risk for other cancers, including ovarian, stomach, and urinary tract cancers. Genetic testing can help identify those with the syndrome, allowing for increased surveillance and preventive measures. Early detection and management can significantly improve outcomes for affected individuals.
