How accurate is colorectal cancer genetic testing?
Although these genetic tests are highly reliable, no test is 100% accurate. Depending on the type of test you have, you can find out if you have certain inherited gene changes. These changes may be related to some of the syndromes that increase your risk for colorectal cancer, such as Lynch syndrome. But the tests cannot tell you when or if you will develop colorectal cancer.
