Lynch Syndrome needs to be known by ALL!

Lynch Syndrome is a Hereditary Cancer Syndrome that is grossly underdiagnosed and  unknown by many medical professionals and the general public, which leaves an estimated 60,000 Americans vulnerable to develop a myriad of cancers and often at a younger age onset. An estimated 1.2 million Americans have LS and less than 5% have been diagnosed! This leaves thousands vulnerable to developing cancers. Awareness is the key. 1 in 279 Americans are estimated to have Lynch Syndrome. It is NOT RARE.
