Fight Colorectal Cancer shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Dr. Swati G. Patel represented Fight CRC at the CGA-IGC Annual Meeting, sharing our work to establish an ICD-10 code for Lynch Syndrome.
Led by our Genetic and Hereditary Advisory Council – Dr. Peter Stanich, Heather Hampel, Andrea Dwyer, Dr. Jennifer Weiss, and Dr. Patel – this effort has been presented to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention three times since 2024. The goal: ensure Lynch syndrome is properly recognized and tracked, paving the way for better care, research, and outcomes for patients and families impacted by hereditary cancer.
We’re grateful for our council’s relentless work and leadership driving progress in genetics, family history, and colorectal cancer prevention.
