Uptake and predictors of colonoscopy use in family members not participating in cascade genetic testing for Lynch syndrome

Abstract Cascade genetic testing provides a method to appropriately focus colonoscopy use in families with Lynch syndrome (LS). However, research suggests that up to two-thirds at risk to inherit LS don’t participate. Within the United States, no studies have assessed colonoscopy use within this elu...
