Colon Cancer Alliance for Research and Education for Lynch Syndrome
Our Mission
Educate the public and healthcare professionals about
Lynch Syndrome and to help fund research for a cure for
this disease.
What is Lynch Syndrome?
Lynch Syndrome is a hereditary disorder that affects up
to 800,000 people in the United States. It increases the
risk of colon, uterine, ovarian, and other cancers. These
cancers often occur at a young age.
Are you at risk?
If multiple family members have cancer and at least one
person is younger than the age of 50, please learn more
about Lynch Syndrome.
