    We would like to thank 

    Cancer Prevention Pharmaceuticals

    for their generous grant support of this educational activity.

    The face of hereditary colon cancer is ever evolving largely due to the remarkable research taking place around the world. Studies are currently underway to increase our knowledge on subjects ranging from chemoprevention, to barriers and psychosocial effects of genetic testing, to genotype of various polyposis conditions, to minimally invasive screening techniques. All of this work gives way to better screening and treatment protocol and translates to a better quality of life and longer life expectancy for HCCS patients. Physicians who stay abreast of these research results are better prepared to deliver a high standard of care to their patients.

     

    The “Hereditary Colorectal Cancer Research Highlights from 2013 - 2014” webinar will highlight the most impactful advances in research in the hereditary colon cancer community. Topics will range from advances in screening techniques, to genetic testing, to chemoprevention. We will specifically cover:

     

    • Advances in genetic testing

    • Chemoprevention clinical trials

    • Psychosocial effect of clinical diagnoses, genetic testing, and living with an HCCS

    • Minimizing the invasive nature of screening techniques

    • Ethnic, cultural, or societal impediments to screening and treatment!

     

     

    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.
