Lynch Syndrome

Lynch Syndrome (LS) is a cancer predisposition syndrome that is inherited due to specific gene mutations. When these gene mutations were first identified in families with many cancers, very little was known about optimal prevention. Since that time, research has been evolving to identify the best means of cancer prevention & screening

This project will evaluate the barriers and burdens of screening/prevention delivery for Lynch Syndrome carriers in BC. We are recruiting 15-20 participants who will be invited to participate in one-on-one interviews or a focus group discussion.

We are recruiting people who:

• Have a female reproductive system
• Have received a positive genetic test for Lynch Syndrome
