This event will bring together leading clinicians, scientists as well as early age onset (EAO) colorectal cancer (CRC) survivors and caregivers from across the country and internationally. The program will provide extensive opportunities for participants to advance their understanding of the rapidly increasing incidence of rectal and colon cancer among young adults under 50 years of age in the U.S. and abroad.
This groundbreaking program will, for a sixth consecutive year, provide all participants the opportunity to hear and question leading clinicians and researchers on the lifesaving potential of timely clinical risk assessment / family cancer health history; earliest possible stage diagnosis, optimal, fertility preserving clinical care, as well as the latest information regarding national and international EAO CRC incidence trends, pathogenesis, and genetics. In addition, this year’s program will present a “Research in Progress” segment providing an update on currently NCI funded and planned EAO CRC research projects from across America and Europe.
Again this year, important Keynote Sessions based on needs-assessments from our survivor community will address challenging issues such as EAO-CRC Focused Survivorship Programs: How Are They Measuring Up?, specifically requested by our Young Adult CRC Survivor Program Advisory Group.
The EAO-CRC SUMMIT™ will include lectures, optional working groups and panel discussions designed to advance the “state-of-the-science” addressing EAO-CRC. Our faculty will once again be world class speakers representing leading academic medical centers with major additional inspiring programmatic contributions from the Early Age Onset Colorectal Cancer Survivor Community of the United States and beyond.
The sponsors of the EAO-CRC Summit make it possible for us to build public awareness of colorectal cancer (CRC) including hereditary colorectal cancer and the importance of timely screening and prevention. Their support also allows us to help sponsor prevention programs in New York City including screening efforts for the uninsured and innovative translational research projects focused on early age onset of colorectal cancer.
As a sponsor of the Summit you have the opportunity to reach thousands who join us each year to raise awareness of this deadly and yet preventable disease.
If you are interested in joining our community of Sponsors, please contact Sandra Vassos at 914.305.6674.

POSTER PRESENTATION SESSIONS
Poster presentations will provide an opportunity for interchange of ideas between the presenter and EAO CRC Summit attendees in his/her study. The poster should be outlined so the research can be understood without an oral explanation as a poster may also be viewed when the author is not present.
Poster location to be determined. Posters will be easily accessible and available for viewing for the duration of the EAO CRC Summit including a reception to be held on the evening of April 23.
Set-Up: Will take place on Wednesday, April 22 time TBD. Each poster will be assigned a sequential number. Locate your assigned poster board and mount your poster within the time noted on the instructions received once accepted. Pushpins will be provided in the area by the Moderators.
Format of poster is LANDSCAPE (horizontal).
Regular Poster Size Limitations: TBD
Photos, Charts, and Graphs: Charts, drawings, and illustrations should be similar to those you would use in making PowerPoint slides. If photographs are used, please have them processed with a matte or dull finish.
Contact Information: Please clearly print 1 email address on your poster for attendees to refer to should they have any questions or comments at a time when you are not standing with your poster. If you do not wish to print your own email address, please list another email address for an appropriate contact person for your abstract.
Poster Material: The poster can either be made on 1 sheet (rollup) or in several small sections. Do NOT mount illustrations on heavy cardboard because they may be difficult to keep in position on the poster board.
Take-Down: Will take place on Thursday, April 23, 7:30 PM. Please disassemble your posted materials at the end of the EAO CRC Summit. Any materials left on the poster board at the end of the session will be removed and disposed of.
AWARDS AND JUDGING
As part of the abstract review process the poster review committee will identify the top ranking abstracts. EAO CRC Summit attendees will also have the opportunity to review posters and vote for the People’s Choice Award. The top three abstracts and the People’s Choice Awardee will recognized during the EAO CRC Summit poster session and during the closing remarks/award ceremony.
THE DR. THOMAS K. WEBER, MD, FACS NEXT GENERATION RESEARCH SCHOLAR AWARD
The Colon Cancer Foundation and the EAO-CRC Planning Committee are pleased to announce the The Dr. Thomas K. Weber, MD, FACS Next Generation Research Scholar Award aimed to promote and recognize excellence in research focused on early onset colorectal cancer. This award will provide $2,500 to cover meeting registration, travel and accommodation expenses to the 6th Annual EAO-CRC Summit on April 22-23, 2020 in New York City.
Dr. Thomas Weber was a staunch supporter of young or early career investigators – always the first to encourage them to be big and bold with their ideas. He believed it is imperative that we bring them into the heart of our discussions at the earliest possible stage to ensure progress continues on these most pressing and urgent issues.
As he himself wrote, ” How can we best provide effective enduring mentorship of the next generation of clinicians and scientists who will take on the clinical and scientific challenges.” We are quite certain he meant to include those who will continue to advocate for the patients and caregivers – who will give them a voice.
The Dr. Thomas K. Weber, MD, FACS Next Generation Research Scholar Award Criteria:
The goal of this Award is to recognize excellence in clinical research focused on early age onset colorectal cancer. In providing this award, the CCF seeks to both support and promote EAO-CRC research. The CCF has a special interest in the biology of early age of onset. However, research into other areas of early age onset colorectal cancer (e.g., novel treatments, innovative minimally invasive screening technologies) will also be considered.
WHO SHOULD SUBMIT?
The following are eligible to apply:
Trainees (i.e., postdoctoral fellows, residents, and clinical fellows);
Junior faculty (within one year of first independent faculty appointment); or
Junior genetic counselors (within one year of completion of training).
