    Current Screening Protocols for

    Hereditary Colon Cancer Syndromes

    ON-DEMAND Viewing Now Available

    NOVEMBER: Research Highlights

    Webinar Series Overview

    OCTOBER: Extracolonic Manifestations

    AUGUST: Current

    Screeing Protocols

    DECEMBER: Genetic Screening

    SEPTEMBER: Successful Colectomies

    The mishandling of HCCS patients is an all-to-frequent occurrence and yields devastating consequences for the patient and their family. For example, Familial Adenomatous Polyposis patients are sometimes advised to delay screening or prophylactic surgery until their mid-20’s and, tragically, the patient develops cancer instead of enjoying access to these preemptive measures. Physicians that do not specialize in the treatment of HCCS conditions need access to the most up to date care protocol to ensure proper care for their HCCS patients. 

     

    This webinar will give medical professionals insight into how centers of excellence keep their HCCS patients healthy and happy. We will specifically cover:

     

    • Prototypical phenotypic expressions of HCCS, including both colorectal and

      extracolonic effects

    • Current NCCN suggested guidelines

    • Developing an immediate and long-term care plan

    • When to refer to a specialist

    • How to work with a center of excellence

    • Benefits of working with a genetic counselor

    • Incorporating genetic testing in the development of a care plan

     

     

    Target Audience

     

    Clinicians, including primary care physicians and gastroenterologists, physician assistants, and certified gastroenterology registered nurses interested in enhancing their knowledge of polyposis conditions; colorectal surgeons interested in broadening their understanding of polyposis conditions and how they relate to bowel diversions; basic and translational researchers and fellows in the fields of gastroenterology and gastrointestinal oncology; genetic counselors who provide care to patients with polyposis conditions or are interested in expanding their scope of care to genetic bowel cancers.
