Fantastic conference discussing the global rise in early-onset cancers and considering risk, biology and ways to reverse the observed trends, with international colleagues and leaders in the field @helloeacr
Excellent day at the RCSI with patients, caregivers, researchers and charities discussing the landscape of bowel cancer in Ireland - both moving and motivating to drive progress. @RCSI_Irl
Delighted to share results on exploring the experiences of early-onset colorectal cancer patients. Key findings:
- there is a lack of recognition for EOCRC patients.
- areas of unmet need include information needs, mental health, sexual health and fertility counselling.
