About
ENGAGE, EDUCATE, EMPOWER

The Colorectal Cancer Community is joining together for a two-half day virtual
conference on May 18th and 19th 2021, to support each other, be educated by experts
and become empowered to prevent, treat, and beat colorectal cancer!

Whether you are a patient at any stage, undergoing treatment or have completed
treatment, a caregiver or family member, a health professional or anyone engaged in
the colorectal cancer healthcare community, this conference is for you.

We will share our stories and experiences while learning how to advocate for ourselves and support
others. This will help us ensure we obtain the right treatment at the right time while improving our
quality of life and outcomes.

Hear from blue-ribbon panels of experts who will educate us on the latest innovations in
diagnosing and treating colorectal cancer while managing the side effects of treatment.
Learn from clinical trial network experts about the world of clinical trials and how we
can access them.

Share insights on early age onset of the disease, because colorectal cancer is impacting
young individuals more than ever.

Acquire coping skills to better manage the emotional impact of cancer on our lives.
Learn how to reduce the risk of cancer and its recurrence through our diet and good nutrition.
Together we will support each other, learn and be empowered!
