Prof Sir John Burns (Sir John Burn) explains preliminary study findings that there is significant decrease in bowel cancer from taking aspirin over a long period of time for #LynchSyndrome patients #LYNKEDIN2019

Powerful experience to moderate today's Patient & Family Panel at Dana-Farber #LYNKEDIN2019. Not easy to speak openly about the challenges of #Lynch yet the hard stuff has to get talked about. #Cancer Lynch Syndrome Intl @FacingOurRisk

Do you have a family history of #PancreaticCancer and a family history of an inherited cancer risk gene? The GENERATE study might be right for you!

"As many as 1 IN EVERY 300 PEOPLE may be carriers of an alteration in a gene associated with Lynch syndrome, according to Cancer.Net, the American Society... curetoday.com/articles/first…

Since Lynch syndrome is an inherited condition, it can be passed down from generation to generation. Therefore, it’s crucial to know family health history, especially if relatives have had cancer.

Proud to represent our team - we are committed to ensuring a better future for families affected by pancreatic cancer

A visionary, Dr. Henry Lynch, celebrated as father of cancer genetics, has died at 91. @dfci #cancergenetics #lynchsyndrome wapo.st/2HVxahm

#pancchat Thank you for joining Helene, we hope the information provided here will be useful to you and your family and others on the chat

#pancchat@generatestudy Genetic testing can help with determining underlying reason for development of pancreatic cancer and also really help with determine the best screening plan for family members who may be at increased risk. For pancreatic cancer as well as for other cancers

#pancchat@generatestudy Genetic testing for children is not recommended in families with pancreatic cancer history. This is because we don't want to cause unnecessary worry and harm and screening does not generally begin till the 40's or 50's for most people

If there is pancreatic cancer and a mutation in the family as one of the participants mentioned, consider getting genetic testing to help determine your risk. If you carry the mutation, then your doctors can develop a screening plan for you #pancchat

CT is not the first-line test for screening because of the radiation and limited sensitivity compared to MRI and endoscopic ultrasound which are the preferred tests #pancchat

There are recent studies that are extremely encouraging that screening with EUS and/or MRI in high risk pancreatic cancer families can have real impact at decreasing incidence and mortality from pancreatic cancer #pancchat

There is a lot of promise in this area. A recent study from Johns Hopkins has shown that screening can pick up earlier stage cancers in mutation carriers compared to individuals who did not undergo screening #pancchat

I think that data support that screening high risk families with endoscopic ultrasound and MRI can have an impact. Clearly we need improvements, but several studies from multiple international groups show promise for screening
