MyGeneRisk Colon was developed by a team led by Drs. Ulrike (Riki) Peters and Li Hsu at Fred Hutch Cancer Center, with support from National Institutes of Health (R01-CA244588, P50-CA285275, and R01CA297681). The risk estimates in this tool are based on genetic and lifestyle data from a large number of colorectal cancer studies.
This tool is meant for informational and educational purposes only. It does not diagnose, treat, or prevent any disease, including cancer. The risk estimates provided are based only on the information you share.
The results should not be used to replace professional medical care and advice. If you have received a positive screening test for colorectal cancer or have concerns about your health, contact a qualified healthcare provider as soon as possible.
