Lynch syndrome patients share colonoscopy struggles in new survey
NCT ID NCT06126120
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study surveyed 231 adults with Lynch syndrome, an inherited condition that raises bowel cancer risk. Researchers wanted to find out how many people follow the UK recommendation of a colonoscopy every two years, and what makes it harder or easier to keep up with these check-ups. Participants filled out a questionnaire about their experiences and challenges. The goal was to better understand the real-world barriers to regular screening in this high-risk group.
