  schema:description "Every bowel cancer should be tested for mismatch repair loss, and where it is found, for whether that loss is inherited. A Lynch syndrome result changes your treatment options, gives each of your children and siblings a one in two chance of carrying it, and puts you into regular colonoscopy; NICE also says to consider daily aspirin for more than two years."@en ;
