Knowing your family history

Knowing your family history of cancer is a critical aspect of cancer prevention and early detection.

Many types of cancer, including Lynch syndrome-related cancers, have a hereditary component. This means that individuals with a family history of cancer may be at increased risk for developing the same or related types of cancer.

The more you know about your family’s cancer history, the better equipped you will be to make informed decisions about your own health and to take proactive steps to reduce your risk of cancer.
