Universal screening of colorectal tumors for lynch syndrome: a survey of patient experiences and opinions

While broadly supporting universal tumor screening without informed consent, respondents also wanted more information shared about the screening policy, as well as their results. These patient preferences should be one of many factors considered when implementing universal screening and can also inform practices regarding both tumor profiling and universal genetic testing, which is becoming more prevalent.

Abstract

While broadly supporting universal tumor screening without informed consent, respondents also wanted more information shared about the screening policy, as well as their results. These patient preferences should be one of many factors considered when implementing universal screening and can also inform practices regarding both tumor profiling and universal genetic testing, which is becoming more prevalent.
