Concurrent Session 4: Progress Update: Developments following the NCCRT’s Action Plan to Address the Rising Burden of Colorectal Cancer in Younger Adults

The NCCRT convened a national Summit with key thought leaders and national stakeholders in November 2017 to discuss the causes of early-onset colorectal cancer and clinical challenges to mitigating the burden of this disease. Research priorities were identified and included evaluating the role of novel risk factors, understanding natural history and elucidating ways to implement evidenced-based practices for identifying and managing at-risk persons. This session will provide an update on recent progress related to each of these priorities and opportunities for engagement.
