New online toolkit aims to boost cancer screening in lynch syndrome families
NCT ID NCT07304063
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests an online tool called 'Let's Talk' designed to help people with Lynch syndrome encourage their relatives to get screened for the condition. Lynch syndrome is a genetic disorder that raises cancer risk, and only about half of close relatives currently get tested. The study will involve 15 patients and 5 genetic counselors across three clinics, measuring whether the tool is practical and improves knowledge. It is a very early, small pilot to see if the approach is worth studying further.
