Welcome to Lynch Choices™

  • Lynch syndrome (‘Lynch’) is an inherited condition that increases the chance of developing certain cancers. The type of cancer depends on the genes involved.
  • This website helps people with Lynch to make choices that are right for them. It is designed to be used with support from the genetics service, GPs, healthcare teams in the community, charities and patient groups.
  • If you are concerned about Lynch but have not been diagnosed, please speak to your GP or genetics service.
  • Each session below helps you think about your choices at home, so you are ready to talk through your choices with a GP, genetics or other specialist.

Lynch Choices™ was funded by Cancer Research UK and developed with researchers at the University of Southampton, together with patients including people with Lynch syndrome. Many other experts also helped codesign the website. Meet the team
