Weber, MD, FACS the Colon Cancer Foundation is committed to fostering public awareness and supporting research for the causes of and a cure for colorectal cancer. Inspired by his daily work as a surgical oncologist, Weber acknowledged the need to increase awareness for colorectal cancer and established the foundation. To date, the foundation has raised over 4 million dollars to support efforts toward early screening, prevention and research. The foundation will host the Fourth Annual Early Age Onset (News - Alert)Colorectal Cancer Summit on April 26 and 27 at JW Marriott Essex House in New York City. This event will focus on the epidemiology of early age onset colorectal cancer. Weber added, "We are excited about the opportunity to partner with CURE Media Group. The partnership allows us to elevate the visibility of our research and programming focused on understanding the rising number of young Americans affected by colon and rectal cancer and the need for broad and impactful education about the importance of earlier conversations and on time sceening for colon cancer. This will exponentially extend the reach of the Colon Cancer Foundation and our ability to fulfill our mission of ending colorectal cancer and improving the quality of life of those already affected by the disease." As part of this joint effort, the Colon Cancer Foundation will be able to share valuable content through CURE® magazine, giving the audience access to unprecedented content, including the latest research, interviews and educational articles for patients, medical professionals, survivors, caregivers and those impacted by colorectal cancer.
