Early Age Onset
PRESIDENTIAL WELCOME
PRESIDENTIAL WELCOME
It is with great pleasure that I announce the 7th Annual Early Age Onset Colorectal Cancer (EAO CRC) Summit will be held on May 11-12, 2021. While we work our way through the remainder of the year and make steady progress toward our collective goal of conquering COVID-19, I feel confident that we are all hoping for an in-person gathering next Spring. I look forward to welcoming you to the City That Never Sleeps with open arms!
Each year the EAO CRC SUMMIT™ brings together stakeholders from around the world including clinicians representing leading academic medical centers; the EAO CRC advocacy community; and scientists and epidemiologists who lead research at prestigious institutes, universities, and companies worldwide. In 2021, we will have the benefit of joining forces with the International Society for Gastrointestinal Hereditary Tumours (InSiGHT) for their biennial meeting, where their brilliant members from around the world will gather to exchange ideas, share their knowledge, and advance our common cause of understanding EAO CRC on a truly global scale.
Our objective is to understand and advance the “state-of-the-science” – the latest information regarding national and international EAO CRC incidence trends, pathogenesis, and genetics; present cutting-edge medical and research advancements and breakthroughs; and build community, conversation, and action focused on addressing EAO CRC. In short, we are focused on saving lives through applying knowledge.
This year’s program will present a digital e-poster session and a “Research in Progress” segment providing an update on all currently funded and planned EAO CRC research projects from across the globe.
Breakout sessions based on needs-assessments from our survivor community will address challenging topics such as EAO CRC Focused Survivorship Programs: How Are They Measuring Up? These and other issues have been specifically requested by our Young Adult CRC Survivor Program Advisory Group.
Want to start an interdisciplinary program focused on EAO CRC? No problem – we’ve got you covered. Looking to learn the latest surgical advances in caring for rectal cancer patients from the best in the field? We’ve got that on the program, too!
If you have a topic that you want to ensure is included in our robust agenda, please let us know. You can reach me directly at borassi@coloncancerfoundation.org.
We are looking forward to seeing everyone in just a few short months. Please do share this information with a colleague – the more the merrier! See you soon – May 11-12, 2021 is right around the corner!
Until then be well,
Cindy
Interim President, Colon Cancer Foundation

EAO-CRC SUMMIT™ OBJECTIVES
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.
EAO-CRC SUMMIT™ EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
- Provide an expert review of the latest published information on the increasing incidence and mortality associated with Early Age Onset Colorectal Cancer in the United States and around the globe
- Provide an evidence-based framework for reducing risk, increasing early stage diagnosis and improving treatment and outcomes for young adult colorectal cancer patients.
- Review the State-of-the-Science regarding the known and possible causes of the increasing incidence of EAO-CRC including alterations in our food and water supply, the contribution of novel germline genetic factors and etiologic clues based on the molecular biology of EAO-CRC cancers.
- Define the “Gaps” in our current understanding of Early Age Onset Colorectal Cancer in order to set our clinical and research priorities and develop a strategic plan to reduce EAO-CRC incidence and mortality.
SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
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.

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 May 11.
Set-Up: Will take place on Tuesday, May 11 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 Tuesday, May 11, 9:30 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.

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 be 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 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).
