Womb cancer and Lynch syndrome with Professor Emma Crosbie: How did we change clinical practice?
In this episode of "One in Two: A Manchester Cancer Research Podcast", we speak to Professor Emma Crosbie about her research in womb cancer and the breakthrough she made in discovering a link between Lynch syndrome and womb cancer.
We discuss the steps Emma and her team took to change NICE guidance on testing for Lynch syndrome for women with womb cancer, and what this now means for the many women and their families with this disease.
