For #LynchSyndromeAwarenessDay this is your reminder that: 💠 Lynch syndrome is common (1:279 individuals) 💠 Lynch syndrome is actionable (increased surveillance/prevention options lead to better outcomes) 💠 Lynch syndrome is underdiagnosed (most people are not aware that they have it) #ColorectalCancerAwarenessMonth

Gastroenterologists are key to making a diagnosis of CRC but very few of them order genetic testing! Is it time for gastroenterologists to take the lead? Timely genetic testing improves outcomes and management See our data at @CGAIGC #cgaigc23 @AmCollegeGastro @HHampel1

"...talking about this not to scare you, but to raise awareness so maybe you can be tested/identify a #BRCA/other genetic mutation earlier. I would have screened more regularly MRI alt/w mammogram. MRI pick up cancers mammos miss." @JillMartin today.com/video/jill-martin-… @TODAYshow

The common 🪡 of #ASCO23 when it comes to germline testing is we aren’t doing enough, even as indications expand to make patient ID easier - we are getting caught up by process and we MUST do better for our patients @HHampel1 @ASCO @GeneticCouns @myriadgenetics
