Lynch Syndrome is caused by a genetic mutation that increases a person’s risk for certain cancers. One in every 440 Americans has Lynch Syndrome, but the majority of these people have not been diagnosed.

To prevent colorectal cancer, people with Lynch Syndrome should undergo a colonoscopy every 1-2 years, starting in their twenties. They may also consider taking aspirin every day.
