    Universal Tumor Screening for Lynch 

    Syndrome and the Impact on Colorectal

    Cancer Care

    Presented by:

    Kory Jasperson, MS, CGC - University of Utah Huntsman Cancer Institute

    JUNE 4: Gynecological Manifestations in Lynch Syndrome

    Webinar Series Overview

    MAY 7: Gastrointestinal Manifestations in Lynch Syndrome

    MARCH 5: Defining Lynch Syndrome

    Health care providers currently rely upon the Amsterdam or Bethesda guidelines to identify families that may be at risk of lynch syndrome. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for families known to carry lynch syndrome to either not meet these criteria or be overlooked due to lack of guideline sensitivity. Universal tumor testing is a proposed method of reducing the instances of a missed lynch syndrome diagnosis.

     

    This webinar will be a source of information for primary care physicians,  surgeons, gastroenterologists, genetic counselors, and nurses and will include education on the following topics:

     

    • History of Universal Tumor Screening 

    • Universal Tumor Screening Guidelines

    • Current Status of Universal Tumor Screening

    • Lynch Syndrome Screening Network

    • Future Directions

     

    Learning Outcomes

     

    At the conclusion of this webinar series, participants will be able to:

     

    • Medical professionals will be able to identify when genetic screening of colorectal tumors for a colon cancer syndrome(s) is needed.

    • Medical professionals will be able to determine which type of genetic test to use.

    • Medical professionals will be able to interpret genetic tumor test results.

    • Medical professionals will recognize when to involve a genetics professional.
