Kicked off the morning w/ a presentation from cancer epidemiologist Becky Siegel, MPH (@americancancersoc.bsky.social), at the @theaacr.bsky.social Conference on the Rise in Early-Onset Cancers.
Her work is shaping what we know, & we're proud to have her help guide our #EOCRC Global Collaborative.💙
Thank you!!!
Excited to have heard from @drfolamay.bsky.social, #FightCRC board member & part of our #EOCRC Epidemiological Tools Workgroup, as she presented on racial and ethnic disparities across the EOCRC continuum in the U.S.
Grateful for her expertise & leadership.💪

Early detection is essential!
The earlier cancer is detected, the greater the chance of survival. #StandUpToCancer is committed to funding research focused on cancer interception and advances in early detection. This #CancerPreventionandEarlyDetectionMonth, learn more about our innovative approach at StandUpToCancer.org.
Black patients are 40% more likely to die CRC than other groups. Why?
1️⃣ Delayed diagnoses (less access to screenings & symptom awareness).
2️⃣ Barriers to care (insurance gaps, distrust in healthcare systems).
3️⃣Underrepresentation in clinical trials & precision medicine.

The most important test for colorectal cancer is the test that gets done. 🙌 While being treated for a stomach infection, Rosa Miguel received an at-home colorectal cancer test at her local clinic as part of the #StandUpToCancer Colorectal Cancer Health Equity Dream Team’s efforts.
Our government affairs committee chair @shaziamsiddique.bsky.social shares our vision at @fightcrc.bsky.social’s #UnitedInBlue rally: a world free of colorectal cancer.
We call on everyone to prioritize CRC screening and research funding to ensure a better future for all. 💪🏼💙
Today’s the day! We’ll be in D.C. on the National Mall with @fightcrc.bsky.social and partners in the CRC community for the #UnitedInBlue rally. Follow along as we raise awareness about the importance of CRC screening and research. It’s time to #PrioritizeCRC!
Love it!
