Today is Lynch Syndrome Awareness Day. Lynch syndrome is the most common hereditary colorectal cancer syndrome, yet it remains underdiagnosed. Up to 1 in 300 individuals may carry a mismatch repair gene mutation, but many are identified only after developing cancer. As surgeons and clinicians, this has real implications: • Early-onset colorectal cancer • Synchronous/metachronous malignancies • Risk beyond the colon: endometrial, ovarian, gastric Universal tumor testing for the mismatch repair deficiency is no longer optional. It’s essential. Identifying Lynch syndrome doesn’t just change one patient’s care; it impacts an entire family. Are we doing enough to recognize it early? #LynchSyndromeAwarenessDay #ColorectalCancer #HereditaryCancer #CancerPrevention @ASCRS_1 @oncodaily @AmCollSurgeons @FightCRC @CCAlliance @reviewjournal Image courtesy: Lynsight
