Abstract IA27: Understanding more about risk and prognostic factors: Lessons from the Colon Cancer Family Registry

Conclusions: The CCFR has shed light on many environmental factors, genetics and tumor characteristics that are related to both incidence and survival. Information gained from studies using this resource provides insight into the biology of this common cancer and importantly may help target messaging on prevention, inform the development of interventions, or tailor recommendations for CRC survivorship care. The greater scientific community has access to this rich resource.Citation Format: Polly A. Newcomb.
