Fight CRC is now an official Patient and Caregiver Connection (PCC) partner with the @FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH).
CDRH regulates the medical devices used to screen for, diagnose, and treat colorectal cancer. As a PCC partner, Fight CRC gathers feedback from the colorectal cancer community on specific issues CDRH is weighing and brings it directly to the staff making those decisions — giving regulators broad, timely access to what this disease and these devices actually mean for patients and caregivers.
It's another seat at the table for the #ColorectalCancer community, and we intend to use it.

Thank you, @JaniceDean, for bringing awareness to one of the most preventable and curable cancers out there. If you are ready to get your colonoscopy, check out the tips I have in my pinned tweets. I promise the prep is not so bad!
March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, and my guest @CancerInsider is a 15 year survivor who is a strong advocate on behalf of herself and others living with cancer. Her story is inspiring and important especially since cases are on the rise. radio.foxnews.com/2024/03/31…

On Monday, July 31, the American College of Physicians published clinical guidance to their members that colorectal cancer screening remain at age 50. In addition, this guidance excludes several non-invasive screening choices currently available for patients.

✳️Colorectal cancer is now the leading cause of cancer related death among males aged 20-39 and 40-49 ‼️It was third among 20-39 age group last year.
✳️ Concerning trend is also seen in young women; CRC related death and will likely surpass breast cancer in near future @OncoAlert

This was the last slide of my patient-physician talk at #ASCO23 & it contains my whole heart
Professionally I believe that "caring for the patient" is the 'true north' of oncology
Personally I would not be alive without my loving wife, Stasha; here's to the unsung #cosurvivors

Congratulations on completion of this important study for our community ‼️

✳️Just learned that some insurance companies can opt out standard of care costs if a patient is enrolled in a clinical trial ‼️
✳️This is quite unethical and can’t believe even this is even legal in the US ❗️

If anyone needs a good pick-me-up about all that is good in this world, check out Jason, Steph & Carole. National #donatelifemonth 💙 #colorectalcancer #goodpeople
Carole's (@ctycka) HAI pump was in place to help tumors shrink & necessary to help her maintain NED status. But in 2017, six pump treatments in, the chemo that saved Carole’s life from stage IV #ColonCancer caused her liver to begin to fail. Full story: bit.ly/3Lj3b2z
