💙 Week 3 of #ColorectalCancerAwarenessMonth focuses on JEDI & the inequities that continue to shape care and outcomes across minority communities. ➡️ We’re kicking off the week with a strong blog post from Communications Committee member @AnujaChitre , MS, CGC🧬highlighting key takeaways from the study, “African-Americans Are Less Frequently Assessed for Hereditary Colon Cancer.” 📜 Read her blog here 👉cgaigc.com/post/african-a… 📍The study is an important reminder for providers: family history collection and communication in clinical practice must improve, as three-generation family histories, a key part of hereditary CRC risk assessment, were documented too infrequently, particularly for African American patients. ⚖️🏥 #HereditaryGICancer #JEDI #HealthEquity #GeneticCounseling #ColorectalCancer #CancerDisparities @drfolamay @blackingastro @FightCRC @IssakaMD

Fight Colorectal Cancer@FightCRC·4 Mar

This week Fight Colorectal Cancer met with @theNCI, @NCIDirector, Dr. Anthony Letai, M.D., Ph.D., to urge stronger prioritization of early age onset #ColorectalCancer research. Too many young people are being diagnosed, and the rise in colorectal cancer demands urgent answers about why. We appreciate Dr. Letai recognizing this growing crisis and his willingness to work with us to advance the #research needed under his leadership. #FightCRC will continue pushing for the science needed to understand and stop this alarming trend. Take action with us: FightCRC.org/takeaction. @drfolamay @CathyEngMD @AnjeeDavis #EAOCRC #PrioritizeCRC

Week 1 of #ColorectalCancerAwarenessMonth spotlights early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC) 💙 📍What guidelines are you using to care for patients with EOCRC? 🩵 EOCRC is now the leading cause of cancer death in young men & the second in young women, yet major gaps remain in risk assessment, diagnosis, treatment, fertility preservation, surveillance & supportive care. 📖 Read @AlexMannucci's blog: 👉🔗 cgaigc.com/post/understan… 🧬 CGA-IGC members helped develop the first int'l EOCRC (DIRECt) guidelines, evidence-based recommendations across diagnostics, surgery, genetics, fertility & more. 📚 Read the guidelines 👇 🔗sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #HereditaryGICancer #Gastroenterology #Oncology #GeneticCounseling #CancerPrevention #ClinicalGuidelines
