Colorectal cancer : a neuropsychological approach to non-adherence to screening guidelines of individuals with Lynch syndrome in the Western Cape

Lynch syndrome (LS), the most common form of inherited colorectal cancer (CRC), carries with it a lifetime risk of approximately 80% of developing CRC. This study identified unexpected findings with regard to the relationships between neuropsychological functioning, knowledge and non-adherence within the context of LS, and highlights ways in which this might be investigated in the future.
