Colorectal Cancer: Updates in Screening, Treatment & Research
Activity description
This activity consists of a recorded presentation from the "31st Annual National Clinical Conference" held in Bloomington, Minn., Oct. 17-19, 2022.
Rates of colorectal cancer (CRC) and CRC-related deaths have been steadily rising in adults younger than 66 years of age, most notably among individuals aged 20-39 years, and CRC remains both the fourth most common cancer and fourth leading cause of cancer-related death in the U.S. Both the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and the American Cancer Society have recently lowered the recommended age for CRC screening to 45 years of age. Importantly, there have been recent and rapid advances in CRC research on surveillance and treatment, particularly for advanced disease. This activity discusses the current prevalence trends for CRC, new insight into risk factors, recommended screening approaches and modalities, treatment updates focused on tumor-specific molecular targets, and recent and emerging findings in CRC research and clinical trials.
