Lynch syndrome is one of the most common hereditary cancer predisposition syndromes, significantly increasing lifetime risk of colorectal, endometrial, and other cancers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This funding will support development of novel screening approaches and biomarkers aimed at earlier, more accurate detection — improving outcomes for Lynch syndrome carriers and their families.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The study will use tumor DNA analysis from blood samples to identify effective and safe treatment combinations for individual patients, with a focus on colorectal cancer subtypes that respond to immunotherapy.&lt;/p&gt;
