Annual Illinois Colorectal Roundtable Meeting

June 27, 2022
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in Illinois, and the incidence of breast, cervical, lung, and colorectal cancers are higher than the national average. Moreover, colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States, and the incidence of CRC in Illinois is higher than the national average. Significant disparities exist for all cancers by race/ethnicity, access to services, socioeconomic status, and geographic location.
