Frequently Asked Questions
Introduction to lynch syndrome
What are the top hospitals conducting lynch syndrome research?
Lynch syndrome, a hereditary condition associated with an increased risk of certain cancers, is receiving focused attention at several top hospitals across the United States. In Atlanta, Emory University Hospital and its Winship Cancer Institute lead the way with an impressive 13 ongoing clinical trials dedicated to understanding and treating this syndrome. Despite having only one previously recorded trial in their history dating back to 2005, their commitment to research remains unwavering. Meanwhile, M D Anderson Cancer Center in Houston boasts both a strong presence and extensive experience in studying lynch syndrome.
