Genetic counseling helps individuals understand and access germline genetic testing, which is necessary to diagnose inherited colorectal cancer syndromes. Individuals with inherited colorectal cancer syndromes are at substantially increased risk of colorectal cancer and other cancers, making appropriate diagnosis essential.<\/p>\n<p>Despite clear clinical guidelines and the gravity of a hereditary cancer diagnosis, genetic counseling referral and attendance among eligible colorectal cancer patients are low nationally and in the greater Seattle area.<\/p>\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Study Overview<\/h1>\n<p>Pathways to Genetic Counseling will offer patient navigation to a random sample of eligible colorectal cancer patients. Patient navigation is an evidence-based method of addressing barriers to accessing recommended care. The patient navigator provides colorectal cancer patients education about genetic counseling and, if they are interested, emotional and logistical support in making and attending genetic counseling appointments. Patient eligibility will be based on their\u202fage at colorectal cancer diagnosis\u202f(under age 50) and\/or\u202fpositive\u202fmicrosatellite instability screening\u202fresults.<\/p>\n<div class=\"box-outer\">\n<div class=\"box one box-none box-tan\">\n<div class=\"tile\">\n<h1>Additional Provider Resources<\/h1>\n<p>Providers can learn more about hereditary colorectal cancer and Lynch syndrome, the most common cause of inherited colorectal cancer, from the links below.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/genomics\/disease\/colorectal_cancer\/index.htm\"><strong>U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:<\/strong> Hereditary Colorectal (Colon) Cancer<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facingourrisk.org\/portal\/people-with-lynch-syndrome\"><strong>Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered<\/strong>: Lynch Syndrome<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cancer.net\/cancer-types\/lynch-syndrome\"><strong>Cancer.Net:<\/strong> Lynch Syndrome<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uptodate.com\/contents\/lynch-syndrome-hereditary-nonpolyposis-colorectal-cancer-clinical-manifestations-and-diagnosis\"><strong>UpToDate:<\/strong> Lynch syndrome (hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer): Clinical manifestations and diagnosis<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meet the Team<\/h1>\n<p>The Pathways to Genetic Counseling study team is based at the UW Health Promotion Research Center (UW HPRC) and is partnering with the Institute for Translational Health Sciences to identify UW Medicine patients eligible for genetic counseling.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/hserv\/faculty\/Knerr_Sarah\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Sarah Knerr<\/strong><\/a><strong> (she\/her), PhD, MPH<\/strong><br \/>Principal Investigator<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/gastro.uw.edu\/faculty\/cynthia-w-ko-md-ms\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Cynthia W.
