A systems approach to enhance Lynch syndrome diagnosis through tumor testing

2022-06-14

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Guidelines recommend universal mismatch repair tumor (MMR) testing of colorectal adenocarcinomas (CRC) to screen for Lynch syndrome (LS). However, its implementation remains disjointed and referral for genetic testing dismal, particularly among minorities. We aimed to increase referral, cancer genetic testing, and eventually LS diagnosis by developing a systems approach which,...
