Abstract
Lynch syndrome, an autosomal dominant genetic disorder, increases the risk of certain cancers, notably colorectal cancer. Early genetic testing and surveillance can significantly reduce associated morbidity and mortality. However, young patients face significant challenges navigating the healthcare system, with the psychological impact often neglected. Coping with the hereditary condition and elevated cancer risk can lead to distress, anxiety, and depression. Healthcare providers tend to focus on physical aspects, disregarding psychological well-being, leading to reduced treatment compliance and satisfaction. This case highlights the need for multidisciplinary teams and mental health support, emphasizing patient-centered care and support systems within the healthcare system.
