Have you been treated for re**al cancer? We need your help.

Low Anterior Resection Syndrome (LARS) is a group of bowel-related symptoms that can occur after radiation and/or surgery for re**al cancer — during treatment, or in the months and years after. Common symptoms include frequent bowel movements, clustering, urgency, difficulty fully emptying, and difficulty with control, including leakage or incontinence.

These symptoms can significantly affect daily life, emotional well-being, and quality of life — but LARS is often underrecognized and underreported. By sharing your experience, you can help us understand what survivors need and identify ways to improve support, education, and treatment.

We're helping share a quick, anonymous survey from Drs. Cathy Eng and Niketa Vivek on behalf of the BEACON Consortium to better understand what survivors need and how to improve support, education, and treatment.

The survey that takes about 5 minutes and works on your phone, tablet, or computer. Your responses are completely anonymous.
Take the survey: https://redcap.vumc.org/surveys/?s=78MFFWTH7NDYKKA4

Thank you for helping us improve care for re**al cancer survivors.

In June 2025, we convened the first-ever Global Early-Onset Colore**al Cancer Think Tank in Barcelona, bringing together researchers, clinicians, advocates, and global partners with a shared purpose: to confront the rising burden of early-onset colore**al cancer (EOCRC) through coordinated, international action.

Since then, the momentum has translated into meaningful structure and progress. Read the caption on each photo to see what’s been accomplished so far!

Did you know that biomarkers help move treatments from "promising idea" to "proven option" for the people most likely to benefit?

In **alcancer, a drug may only work well if the tumor has a certain , so testing helps match the right patient to the right medicine and gives researchers a clear way to prove a treatment benefit in clinical trials.

That evidence is often what supports FDA approval, especially for targeted therapies and immunotherapy.
