Somehow it is a shameful thing…
We cannot raise awareness about CRC if we can only whisper *colorectal*

Excited to learn from this awesome panel at #AACR2025 as we talk about EO Cancers & their rising rates
As an early onset #colorectalcancer survivor & as someone who sees the impact of #EOCRC daily in #COLONTOWN, we need more concerted efforts to reduce the burden of EOCRC worldwide.
