10th Annual Meeting of the Collaborative Group of the Americas on Inherited Colorectal Cancer November 9-10, 2006 DoubleTree Hotel Nashville 315 4th Avenue North Nashville, Tennessee Photo: Barry M. Winiker Preceding The National Society of Genetic Counselors (NSGC) meeting held at the Gaylord Opryland Resort. 10th Annual Meeting of the Collaborative Group of the Americas on Inherited Colorectal Cancer Goal This program was developed in recognition of the need for clinicians and scientists to keep abreast of current information in hereditary colorectal cancer research – including its implications in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of patients with colorectal cancer. Increasing emphasis will be on awareness of and participation in development of clinical and translational trials. Educational Objectives (per Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education guidelines) After attending the conference, participants should be able to • review the molecular genetics of inherited colorectal cancer; • describe clinical features of common inherited colorectal cancer syndromes; • describe emerging research in hereditary colorectal cancer, including clinical, basic science, and psychosocial issues; • review chemoprevention treatment options for inherited colorectal cancer; • identify and resolve difficult case management issues in the treatment of hereditary colorectal cancer; • discuss the role of genetic counseling and hereditary colorectal cancer registries in providing patient education and promotion of interaction between patients and researchers. Learning Objectives (per American Board of Genetic Counselors’ guidelines) • Appreciate the ethical, legal, and psychosocial issues unique to hereditary colon cancer risk identification, management, and documentation. • Increase participants’ understanding of new screening, surgical, and research options available to their high risk patients. • Examine the impact of genetic evaluation, genetic counseling, and genetic testing on clinical care of individuals and families. Target Audience This conference will be beneficial to colorectal surgeons, medical oncologists, gastroenterologists, researchers, geneticists, nurses, colorectal cancer registry coordinators, genetic counselors, and psychologists involved in hereditary colorectal cancers. Educational Methods Lectures - Question and Answer Sessions - Panel Discussions - Case Presentations Exhibit Program Evaluation A course evaluation form will provide participants with the opportunity to review each session and speaker, to identify future educational needs, and to comment on any perceived commercial bias in the presentations.

Call for Abstracts Participants are encouraged to submit abstracts regarding clinical, basic science, and psychosocial aspects of hereditary colorectal cancer. We are interested in abstracts for both established projects with data to share and newly started projects. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive update on the status of clinical research and to stimulate collaborations, recruitment of subjects, and ideas for the development of other studies. Abstracts will only be accepted electronically and should be submitted to Larry Rusin, MD, CGA-ICC Vice President, at [email protected] The deadline for submission of abstracts is September 8, 2006. Acceptance of abstracts will be acknowledged by e-mail. Authors will be notified by October 6, 2006. All communication will be with the submitting author only. Limit abstracts to one page, typed in 12 point Times New Roman font, single-spaced with one-inch margins and left justified. Organize the abstract into Background, Methods, Results, and Conclusions. Define all abbreviations and provide three keywords describing the nature and content of the abstract. Please include the name of the conference, title of your presentation, full names of all authors, highest degree, institutional affiliation, and full address at the top of the abstract.

Collaborative Group of the Americas on Inherited Colorectal Cancer In 1995, the Collaborative Group of the Americas on Inherited Colorectal Cancer (CGAICC) was established to improve understanding of the basic science of inherited colorectal cancer and the clinical management of affected families. Its broad aims are to enhance the study of inherited colorectal cancer through • education of physicians, allied health-care professionals, patients and their families; • linkage to clinical and chemoprevention trials; • integration of molecular and clinical research at local and national levels; • resource for registry development and support of polyposis, inherited colorectal cancer, and cancer genetics. Included among CGA-ICC members are many of the most prestigious international colorectal cancer registries and clinics. Individual members include colorectal surgeons, medical oncologists, gastroenterologists, researchers, geneticists, nurses, colorectal cancer registry coordinators, genetic counselors, and psychologists. Typically, attendance at the annual meeting ranges from 150-200 individuals which serves to promote personal interactions and collaboration among the participants.
