Abstract

Aim: The National Colorectal Cancer Roundtable convened a national Summit to discuss the causes of early-onset colorectal cancer and clinical challenges to mitigating burden of this disease. Materials & methods: Information presented was synthesized through scientific consensus building to determine priorities for new research and practice change. Results: Research priorities include evaluating role of novel risk factors, understanding natural history and identifying ways to implement evidenced-based practices for identifying and managing at-risk persons. Practice change should focus on adoption of guidelines for collecting family history, screening in young adults at risk, provider and population awareness about risk and symptoms, and universal tumor testing. Conclusion: Successful implementation of strategies to address research and practice change will require collaboration from multiple partners.

期刊介绍： Colorectal cancer is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, particularly in the developed world. Risk factors for colorectal cancer are on the rise in many countries; populations are aging, and obesity and diabetes are increasing. National screening programs are helping to detect cancer while it is still curable; however, colorectal cancer remains the third leading cause of cancer deaths in the USA and options are still limited for those with more advanced disease. Consequently, colorectal cancer is a major research priority for government, pharmaceutical companies and non-profit organizations. Research into diagnosis and optimum treatment of the disease is progressing rapidly, with new advances reported every day. Colorectal Cancer presents reviews, analysis and commentary. on all aspects of colorectal cancer.
