To examine Lynch Syndrome (LS) screening of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients in integrated healthcare delivery organizations. We determined the availability of LS screening criteria and actual LS screening in the medical records among 1,188 patients diagnosed with mCRC between 2004–2009 at seven institutions in the Cancer Research Network (CRN). We found infrequent use of LS screening (41/1188). Family history was available for 937 of the 1188 patients (79%). There was sufficient information to assess LS risk using family history based criteria in 719 of the 937 patients (77%) with family history documentation. In 391 individuals with a family history of a LS-associated cancer, 107 (27%) could not be evaluated due to missing information such as age of cancer onset. Eleven percent of patients who met Bethesda criteria and 25% of individuals who met the Amsterdam II criteria were screened for LS. When screening occurred, it followed recommended guidelines, but no testing method was preferred. The information required for LS screening decisions is routinely collected but seldom utilized. There is a critical gap between collection of family history and its use to guide LS screening, which may support a case for implementation of universal screening guidelines.
