The Colorectal Cancer Alliance is deeply saddened by the death of Representative Donald Payne Jr. of New Jersey, a trailblazer who worked tirelessly to pass legislation that promoted colorectal cancer awareness, screening, and equity. His dedication to public service and advocacy leaves a lasting legacy, and his contributions to the colorectal cancer community will be remembered fondly. During his tenure in Congress, Payne Jr. was a vocal proponent of legislation advancing improvements in colorectal cancer prevention, screening, and care. He sponsored the Removing Barriers to Colorectal Cancer Screening Act, which would require insurance to pay for colonoscopies that include the removal of polyps. He also introduced the Donald Payne Sr. Colorectal Cancer Detection Act, in honor of his father who died of the disease. The Act required Medicare to cover FDA-approved blood tests for colorectal cancer screening.  Payne Jr. introduced a resolution to address health disparities among Black Americans, and he was also instrumental in lowering the recommended screening age for colorectal cancer from 50 to 45, in response to the growing incidence of young-onset cases. “The death of Donald Payne Jr. is a significant loss to the Alliance and to the entire colorectal cancer community,” said Michael Sapienza, CEO of the Colorectal Cancer Alliance. “He was a catalyst for change and a beacon of hope who elevated our mission to end colorectal cancer. We will continue to honor his legacy as we work to improve and expand access to colorectal cancer awareness, prevention, screening, and care.”

With deep sadness, AASLD recognizes the passing of a great leader in the field. Dr. Stephen Harrison leaves behind an incredible legacy, particularly in NASH/MASH. Thank you Drs. Rinella, Tetri, and Brunt for your moving tribute, which you can read here: aasld.org/col-stephen-ha…

thanks for the Q! this is a nuanced convo for each patient & their physician. generally, if your gut is working as it should, you have good bacteria in your system. these can get flushed out with regular “colon cleanses”. constipation = separate issue & may require add’l workup.

For many people, a blood test for #colorectalcancer screening is an answered prayer! A 🩸 test has the potential improve CRC screening to the elusive 80% goal! Proud to have contributed to this novel tool alongside great colleagues and look forward to the journey ahead.

A blood test to increase CRC screening is coming folks! Proud to know 2 of these amazing gastroenterologists leading this science @IssakaMD @DMGrayMD
