Register for AllyCon 2024
Join us for a three-day experience where patients, caregivers, and advocates unite against colorectal cancer. Register by October 14 for early bird pricing.
Recent advancements in colorectal cancer (CRC) screening have led to a complex and confusing landscape, making it difficult for healthcare professionals and patients to choose the best screening options. To address this, the Colorectal Cancer Alliance will host a dinner event in Washington, D.C., to discuss the current state of screening technologies and develop resources that aid in navigating these options.
Our discussion will be recorded and converted into a peer-reviewed published report. Beyond that, we will use key learnings to create plain-language tools and resources designed to promote shared decision-making.
Discuss and evaluate data on current and emerging CRC detection tests.
Assist HCPs and patients in navigating the complex landscape of CRC screening options.
Improve equitable access and adoption of CRC screening tests.
The event will be held at the National Union Building, 918 F St NW, in Washington, D.C., from 5:30 to 8:30 pm ET on May 19.
From the convention center, take the green line Metro train from Mt. Vernon Square to Gallery Place. The venue is a short walk from the station.
Our buffet dinner, to be enjoyed at your seat during the program, includes vegan options. Beer and wine will be available, too.
The agenda appears below. We're grateful for your participation!
