How Is An Hysterectomy Test Done?

My self and my younger sister have had hysterectomies for endometrial cancer. My mother had a hysterectomy although I never heard that she had cancer. My middle sister is now seeing a genetic counselor to determine her own risk. The genetic counselor has suggested that my younger sister and myself be tested for Lynch syndrome as this would significantly indicate a much higher risk and indicate that my middle sister should go ahead with a hysterectomy. How do I go about getting this test done?

Hello,

Lynch syndrome can lead to high risk of various cancers.
If your middle sister has completed her family then she may proceed with hysterectomy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
