This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This research is testing whether people with Lynch syndrome—a genetic condition that increases cancer risk—can collect their own vaginal swab samples at home to screen for early signs of uterine cancer. Researchers want to see if these self-collected samples can accurately detect cancer risk and whether patients find this home-based testing method acceptable and easy to do.
People with Lynch syndrome have a much higher chance of developing uterine cancer, but current screening methods are limited. This study explores whether simple home-based vaginal swabs could become a practical, convenient way to catch uterine cancer early in people who carry this genetic mutation.

You'll complete a health questionnaire about your lifestyle and symptoms, then collect three vaginal swab samples at home using provided kits—spaced about 8 to 9 months apart. Each kit includes simple instructions for collecting the sample and testing your vaginal pH. You'll also complete brief surveys around the time of each collection. If any findings are abnormal, you'll be referred to a gynecologist for further evaluation.
