THANK YOU!
What an incredible afternoon! Who needs Times Square, NYC to hold a Summit? Well, we really would love to get together in person however I have to say all reports point to a very productive, positive event yesterday! We couldn’t have done it without our Co-Chairs, Planning Committee, Faculty, and very generous Sponsors!
For those of you who missed it no worries! You can register to view the recording! We ask you to register simply so we can stay in touch as we look to collaborate going forward on all things EAO-CRC.
Stay tuned to the very end of the Summit. You will learn about the opportunity to get involved in working groups to address the GAPS we have identified to move the needle on EAO-CRC even as COVD-19 continues to affect our world. Colorectal cancer doesn’t stop – even for a pandemic.
We had a great time yesterday, we can’t thank you enough for tuning in and look forward to seeing you on future digital events!

InSiGHT
In The CiTY
The 2021 Biennial Conference of the International Society for Gastrointestinal Hereditary Tumours
May 12-15, 2021
A Meeting for Medical Professionals
The InSiGHT 2021 Jersey City/NYC will be a 3.5 day meeting, similar in structure to previous InSiGHT meetings. This year the event will be held after the EAO-ECR event.
Our planned Plenary Sessions will invite the highest level of peer reviewed abstracts to address key areas. These will include:
- Personal and Familial Risk assessment with a focus on effective Family Health History Ascertainment, cancer prevention, advances in surveillance technologies and clinical protocols;
- Novel germline and somatic genetic mechanisms predisposing to hereditary GI malignancy;
- State of the Art Novel gene discovery including the current science of “missing heritability”;
- Novel genomic based therapies;
- Advances in surgical and endoscopic management of hereditary GI malignancies;
- Challenging clinical case discussions;
- The impact of gene panel testing on the genetic and clinical management of the hereditary GI syndromes;
- Additional sessions will be provided to meet the clinical navigation, optimal quality of life and psychological support needs of affected individuals and their families.
The program will also provide opportunities through peer reviewed content and special invited speakers to explore how InSiGHT can optimally position itself to lead globally on key issues such as promoting clinical awareness,education and research on the hereditary GI syndromes. How will we actually deliver on our vision and “promise” to fully integrate all of the continents on our planet in our efforts? How can we best provide effectiveenduring mentorship of the next generation of clinicians and scientists who will take on the clinical and scientific challenges of the hereditary GI syndromes? What steps can we take, as a global organization, to secure sustainability and growth? We will also tackle a very special issue; over 20 years after the cloning of the DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes, how can InSiGHT rekindle an active relationship with big science including, of course genomics, genetics, and epigenetics to help us advance our collective understanding of the biology of the hereditary GI malignancy syndromes? This is essential to attract “the best and the brightest” of future generations to our scientific and clinical arena.

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.
If you are interested in joining our community of Sponsors, please contact Sandra Vassos at 914.305.6674.

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 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).
