The 2021 Rally on Research will continue building a global research network and agenda to address the phenomenon known as Early Age Onset Colorectal Cancer (EAO CRC). Anyone with a special interest in EAO CRC—oncology researchers, clinicians, patient advocates, public health professionals and science writers—are encouraged to attend. “QUOTE FROM YOUR ORGANIZATION ABOUT WHY THIS WORK IS IMPORTANT.” Fight Colorectal Cancer, the leading advocacy organization in the U.S., is spearheading the Rally on Research with the support of a global planning committee consisting of researchers, clinicians, advocacy group leaders, and patient advocates from the U.S., UK, Ireland,, Canada, Australia, Spain, Italy, and Serbia. In many countries around the world, particularly developed countries, EAO CRC is a growing concern. Since the mid 1990s, cases in those under age 50 increased by around 51%; there’s been incremental increases of 2% per year in patients younger than age 55. In April 2021, a JAMA study reported that among 20-49 year olds, colorectal cancer will be the leading cause of cancer death by 2030 if current trends continue. On June 24, the event will include a kickoff from the main virtual stage and live panel discussions with EAO CRC patients, caregivers, and clinicians talking about their experiences and opportunities to improve care regarding diagnosis, treatment, survivorship, quality of life, and caregiving. The agenda includes opportunities for networking and visits to the virtual expo for poster presentations and live Q&A. Day Two, June 25, will feature live panel discussions regarding: major projects of the Fight CRC EAO CRC Workgroup activities, CRC screening guidelines around the globe, EAO CRC treatment and care delivery, and research funding. Breakout sessions for clinical care, research and advocacy will be offered in addition to poster presentations, the virtual expo for Q&A, and networking opportunities.
