Abstract
Aim: The National Colorectal Cancer Roundtable convened a national Summit to discuss the causes of early-onset colorectal cancer and clinical challenges to mitigating burden of this disease. Materials & methods: Information presented was synthesized through scientific consensus building to determine priorities for new research and practice change. Results: Research priorities include evaluating role of novel risk factors, understanding natural history and identifying ways to implement evidenced-based practices for identifying and managing at-risk persons. Practice change should focus on adoption of guidelines for collecting family history, screening in young adults at risk, provider and population awareness about risk and symptoms, and universal tumor testing. Conclusion: Successful implementation of strategies to address research and practice change will require collaboration from multiple partners.
