  • Annenberg Health Sciences Building
  • 03/16/2026
  • From 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

According to the American Cancer Society, more than 158,000 American will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer - with an increasing amount of diagnoses in adults under 50. Join us for a community conversation on colorectal cancer that puts patients at the center of care. This interactive presentation features a panel of specialists - including a gastroenterologist, colorectal surgeon, medical oncologist and radiation oncologist - who work as a coordinated team to guide patients from prevention and early detection through treatment and survivorship. Learn how a collaborative, patient-centered approach leads to better communication, personalized care and improved outcomes.

In addition to the lecture, attendees will be able to walk through a giant inflatable replica of a human colon that illustrates the development of colorectal cancer and helps visitors gain a better understanding of how colorectal cancer is identified and can be effectively treated, when detected early.

Panel includes:

Henry Tsai, MD, MD, Board Certified in Hematology and Medical Oncology 
John Einck, MD, Board Certified in Radiation Oncology
Iyoob Ilyas, MD, Board Certified in Colon and Rectal Surgery 
Yash Mittal, MD, Board Certified in Gastroenterology
