Young-Onset of Colorectal Cancer Virtual Patient Conference 2023

---

LIVE

Saturday, May 20, 2023, 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM, MD Anderson - Virtual, Houston, TX

Young-Onset of Colorectal Cancer is defined as colorectal cancer diagnosed at or under age 50 and is being increasingly diagnosed in the United States and across the globe. The University of Texas MD Anderson Young-Onset Colorectal Cancer (YOCRC) Program has its mission to offer the best integrated care for YOCRC across the cancer spectrum, including diagnosis, treatment, survivorship and prevention. We have organized this YOCRC Virtual Patient Conference to bring together YOCRC patients, survivors and caregivers from Texas, across the nation and internationally. The participants will advance their understanding of YOCRC, its genetics and non-genetic risk factors, stage-specific treatments, as well as the multi-dimensional impact of living with YOCRC. Participants will network with leading clinicians, researchers, patient advocates, and most importantly, each other. The conference is dedicated to educating and empowering YOCRC patients, with the message that we are with you every step of the way. 

The primary target audience includes YOCRC patients, families and caregivers, while the entire colorectal cancer community is invited to tune into this virtual conference.
