To mark Bowel Cancer Awareness month this April, the National Disease Registration Service (NDRS) has organised a webinar to showcase the first ever national Lynch syndrome database created and how it can be used.

Lynch syndrome is a genetic condition that increases the lifetime risk of bowel cancer to up to 80%. Funded by Bowel Cancer UK, this national registry will help inform surveillance, treatment and care of people with the condition.

Speakers: Professor Sir John Burn (Newcastle University), Fiona McRonald and Steven Hardy (NDRS)

The webinar will cover:

• Who we are and what we do
• Diagnosis of Lynch syndrome
• An overview of the dataset and how it’s being used to monitor and improve patient care
• Findings from a study on how Lynch syndrome patients treated with aspirin had significantly reduced risk of bowel cancer
• Next steps
