Adherence to Comprehensive, Multi-Organ Screening Recommendations in Patients With Lynch Syndrome

The purpose of this study is to examine how people with a family history of colon cancer and
other related cancers respond to recommendations for cancer screening after genetic
counseling. The purpose of your participation would be to help us learn more about whether
people with a personal and/or family history of colorectal cancer and other cancers follow
cancer screening recommendations.
