The Third Annual Early Onset Cancer Symposium

Join us in-person to learn and discuss the critical challenges of the alarming increase in new cases of colorectal and breast cancer affecting 20-49 year olds in our community today. This CME/IPCE symposium will focus on the scientific and clinical evidence-base surrounding the devastating demographic shift of colorectal and breast cancer to younger age groups. Our expert speakers span multiple disciplines and will equip you with the tools to recognize the often-overlooked warning signs in younger adults and increase awareness and to educate young adults to recognize symptoms and adopt strategies for the prevention this disease. This is a call to action 1) to enhance awareness and prevention, 2) ensure timely diagnosis, and 3) implement cutting-edge interventions to increase early-onset cancer survival and save lives.

Our mission is to bring together education, research, and collaborative initiatives to improve outcomes. You are invited to join us for a reception from 5:00-6:00 pm immediately following the symposium so that we may honor our patients and provide an opportunity for you to meet your colleagues and continue the conversation.

The timing is 7:30 am-5:00 pm. Registration and breakfast begins at 7:30 am. The cost for the entire event (symposium and reception) is free to Northwell employees and $25 for non-Northwell employees.
