• Interventions: Other: Observation

• Registration Number: NCT01216930
• Lead Sponsor: Vejle Hospital

Brief Summary

A clinically applicably strategy for molecular screening for Lynch Syndrome has been implemented in the Region of Southern Denmark.

Based on sequential analysis with immunohistochemistry and methylation analysis, patients with possible hereditary colorectal cancer are identified. These patients are offered genetic risk assessment and counselling.
