Increase the proportion of persons with newly diagnosed colorectal cancer who receive genetic testing to identify Lynch syndrome (or familial colorectal cancer syndromes)


Summary

This objective currently has research status, meaning it is a high-priority public health issue that doesn’t yet have evidence-based interventions developed to address it. It may or may not have reliable baseline data available. If both baseline data and evidence-based interventions become available, this objective may become a core Healthy People 2030 objective.
