研究表明,在有资格的子宫癌患者中,只有48%的人接受了林奇综合症的基因测试,尽管有91%的人接受了筛查。
Study reveals only 48% of eligible womb cancer patients got genetic testing for Lynch syndrome, despite 91% being screened.
爱丁堡大学的一项研究发现,尽管91%的子宫癌肿瘤正在用林奇综合症标记进行测试,但只有48%的合格病人由于检测结果交流不良而接受了必要的基因检测。
A University of Edinburgh study found that despite 91% of womb cancer tumors being tested for Lynch syndrome markers, only 48% of eligible patients received the necessary genetic testing due to poor communication of test results.
Lynch综合症是一种遗传性疾病,增加了癌症风险,可以通过阿司匹林和常规结肠杆菌等预防措施加以管理,如果早期检测出来的话。
Lynch syndrome, an inherited condition that increases cancer risk, can be managed with preventive measures like aspirin and regular colonoscopies if detected early.
该研究强调需要改进遗传检测做法,以防止今后出现癌症。
The study highlights the need for improved genetic testing practices to prevent future cancers.
