Currently enrolling participants, @FORTEStudy is a #colorectalcancer prevention trial looking to answer when patients who had 1-2 small benign polyps removed during a colonoscopy, have a repeat surveillance colonoscopy? Learn more about FORTE: ow.ly/6hjb50Yikbb

UPDATED - New protocols in development lists are always available in our monthly newsletters. Here's our list as of February 28th: ow.ly/w2nL50YuRuO

March is #colorectalcancerawarenessmonth. Understand your risk factors, know the symptoms, talk to your doctor about screenings, and connect to resources. The NCI’s website is a good place to start: cancer.gov/types/colorect…

Everyone taking part in this study will have some type of surgery to reduce the risk of #ovariancancer, choosing their surgery: removal of the fallopian tubes & remove the ovaries later or the standard of care-removing both the ovaries & fallopian tubes. nrgoncology.org/SOROCk

The NRG-GI008 CIRCULATE-North America study is trying to determine whether chemotherapy is needed for all or only some high-risk stage II colon cancer patients & needed, what kind to recommend based on the presence or absence of ctDNA following surgery for colon cancer.

If you're age 45+ & average risk, now is the time to get screened for #colorectalcancer. Colonoscopy is considered the gold standard to detect colorectal cancer, typically done every 10 yrs, while annual, less-invasive, at-home stool tests are also recommended according the CDC.

As Digestive Disease Week approaches, DDW introduced DDW Legends, a new series celebrating the ideas, mentorship, and leadership that have helped define DDW over the years. We're excited to see FORTE Protocol Chair, @rockscho, featured : news.ddw.org/news/ddw-legen…
