Lynch syndrome and inherited colorectal cancer

The resources below have been developed to support implementation of mainstreaming Lynch syndrome gene testing through cancer services in Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and Derbyshire. We call this Mainstreaming Cancer Genetics (MCG).

These resources have been designed for use within our Trust and the district hospital which we serve. Any of the specialist nurses or clinicians involved in the care of patients with colorectal cancer can complete the training resources.

If you have queries please contact: nuhnt.clinicalgenetics@nhs.net.
