Originally broadcast April 3, 2025 Roughly 85% of respondents to a survey cited by Michael Sapienza, CEO of the Colorectal Cancer Alliance, say they would rather do their taxes than get a colonoscopy. “We need to do a better job of talking to the public about the barriers,” Sapienza tells “Conversations on Health Care” hosts Mark Masselli and Margaret Flinter.

Roughly 85% of respondents to a survey cited by Michael Sapienza, CEO of the Colorectal Cancer Alliance, say they would rather do their taxes than get a colonoscopy. “We need to do a better job of talking to the public about the barriers,” Sapienza tells "Conversations on Health Care" hosts Mark Masselli and Margaret Flinter. Sapienza, whose mother died of the disease at age 58, says people may be less than excited to do the preparation, or colon cleanout, necessary for a screening. Or that they don't want the hassle of taking time off from work. But he emphasized that 45 is the recommended age that people begin getting regular screenings for polyps that, at some point, could develop into cancer. “45 is the new 50," says Sapienza, whose alliance was instrumental in lowering the recommended screening age and, in 2022, recruited actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney to have their colon screenings filmed.

A Survivor's Call to Action: Understanding Colorectal CancerThe discussion centers on the critical importance of colorectal cancer awareness, particularly during the month dedicated to its recognition. I emphasize the significance of early detection, underscoring that the survival rate markedly improves when the disease is identified at its localized stage. With colorectal cancer being the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the United States, it is paramount for individuals to engage in regular screenings, which the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends starting at the age of 45. Moreover, I highlight the alarming increase in colorectal cancer incidence among adults under 50, which necessitates urgent attention and advocacy for improved healthcare access. The Colorectal Cancer Alliance plays a vital role in this endeavor, providing resources, education, and support to patients and their families while advocating for necessary policy changes.Takeaways: Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month is crucial for educating the public about this disease. Early detection significantly enhances survival rates, particularly when cancer is diagnosed at a localized stage. Regular screenings for colorectal cancer should commence at age 45, or earlier for those at higher risk. The Colorectal Cancer Alliance provides vital resources and support for patients and their families. Awareness and education efforts are essential in combating the rising incidence of colorectal cancer among younger adults. Participating in events and sharing information can greatly contribute to colorectal cancer advocacy and research funding. Links referenced in this episode:ratethispodcast.com/resessions

How can small businesses rebuild after a crisis like the recent LA fires? The Small Business Administration (SBA) plays a crucial role in recovery; offering financial assistance, business counseling, and disaster relief.

Champions of the peer-to-peer industry understand that P2P events go far beyond just fundraising, raising awareness or building community. For those directly affected by our causes, these events can provide a powerful outlet for emotional healing—a meaningful way to take action, mourn, celebrate and feel less isolated in their struggles.However, this critical component can often be overshadowed by broader fundraising and marketing strategies. In our efforts to design events that attract the widest possible audience, we can lose sight of creating experiences that truly center those most directly impacted.In this episode, Marcie Maxwell of P2PPF is joined by Chelsea Edwards, Senior Director of Peer-to-Peer Giving at the Colorectal Cancer Alliance, to discuss the recent transformation of the organization's flagship event from the Undy Run to the Walk To End Colon Cancer. Together, they explore the motivations behind this shift and the strategic decision to redesign the event to better serve those diagnosed with colorectal cancer and their loved ones, rather than just the general public. Chelsea delves into how their new signature experience, “A Moment of Unsilence,” was developed and the profound impact it has had on the community.This episode also covers:Emotional healing as a cornerstone of P2P eventsSecuring buy-in from leadership and local communities for changeThe non-revenue benefits of P2P communitiesMentioned LinksColorectal Cancer AllianceStay Connected on LinkedInConnect with ChelseaConnect with MarcieConnect with the Peer-to-Peer Professional Forum (00:00) - Welcome to The P2P Soap Box (01:41) - Introducing Chelsea Edwards (06:36) - The Undie Run Transformation (14:06) - The Moment of Unsilence (22:24) - Training For Impact (30:54) - Get Involved

PART 2 of our coverage of young-onset colorectal cancer! This week our guest is an Oncology expert, here to give us in-depth information about colorectal cancer, with actionable items on how we can protect ourselves. Colorectal cancer in younger folks (under 50 years old) is unfortunately on the rise. According to the Colorectal Cancer Alliance, in the US, about 10% of colorectal cancer cases are diagnosed in people under 50.  Did you know that in 2021, the USPSTF (the federal task force that creates and implements screening guidelines in the US) changed their colorectal cancer screening guidelines? Instead of average-risk folks getting their first screening colonoscopy at 50 (the previous standard), the recommendation is now to start at 45! Your Doctor Friends are happy to present a physician expert in colorectal cancer to provide even more helpful information about why this disease may be targeting younger people, and what we can do as individuals to protect ourselves and those we care about :) Welcome, Meena Sadaps, MD! Dr. Sadaps is a board certified oncologist and assistant professor with Your Doctor Friends at Rush, and practices at the RUSH MD Anderson Cancer Center. She attended Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University before completing residency and fellowship at Cleveland Clinic. HEADS UP!

Colorectal cancer in younger folks (under 50 years old) is unfortunately on the rise. According to the Colorectal Cancer Alliance, in the US, about 10% of colorectal cancer cases are diagnosed in people under 50.  Those numbers are rising about 1-2% percent each year, and researchers are still finding out why.  Young adults are the only population group experiencing an increase in colorectal cancer Colorectal cancer is currently the deadliest cancer among young men and the second deadliest among young women. In August 2020, the world lost amazing actor, Black Panther himself, Chadwick Boseman, to colorectal cancer at the age of 43. Did you know that in 2021, the USPSTF (the federal task force that creates and implements screening guidelines in the US) changed their colorectal cancer screening guidelines? Instead of average-risk folks getting their first screening colonoscopy at 50 (the previous standard), the recommendation is now to start at 45! Sharing personal experiences, and highlighting the stories of people touched by colorectal cancer is POWERFUL, and the ripple effects flow far. Your Doctor Friends are SO HONORED to highlight two wonderful individuals on this episode- Ashley Bowman, MHA and Dawn Schneider, PhD, MBA. Ashley and Dawn have quite a bit in common- they are both advocate volunteers at the Colorectal Cancer Alliance, members of the Never Too Young Taskforce Advisory Board, and unfortunately both lost sisters to young-onset colorectal cancer. Ashley and Dawn share their amazing, heartbreaking, and inspiring personal stories in this episode. We are so grateful! We will follow up next week with a physician expert in colorectal cancer to provide even more helpful information about why this disease may be targeting younger people, and what we can do as individuals to protect ourselves and those we care about :) HEADS UP!

This episode is a 360it revisiting the topics put on the table during Episode 88 : Biosimilars - Interchangeability & Switching 2023   Join us in this breakout 360it from Episode 88 Biosimilars : Interchangeability & Switching 2023 as we dissect the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and its potential fallout on patient access to diverse treatment plans.

Welcome back to The Patients Speak, where we're combining the business and science innovation of healthcare with the patient voice on how we need to accelerate their journey from diagnosis to wellness. Our guest today is Michael Sapienza, the CEO of the Colorectal Cancer Alliance.We had a wonderful discussion on the CCA's most recent Colon cancer campaign that was beautifully executed by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. Brooks Bell partnered with the Colorectal Cancer Alliance to launch LEAD FROM BEHIND to bring awareness to colon cancer, which happens to be preventable cancer!Michael insists that patients should be more proactive and insist that they get screening, especially for this type of cancer.Having lost his mother at 56 years old when she was screened he says that she wasn't proactive in getting a screening. As his primary caregiver, he narrowed down what patients want into two things.They want to live and they want to live longer They don't wanna feel alone. In that respect they have multiple programs in their care pillar:They provide information about biomarkers, surgery, and innovations in clinical trials.They give psychosocial pieces if patients are suffering from depression or anxiety or even temporary feelings of loneliness.In order to bridge the research gap, they are holding a clinical trial summit on November 10 in Washington DC. where the head of the Moon Shot will be giving the keynote speech. In order to open a conversation with all parties involved so as to improve clinical trial access and, and uptake in general. From the CCA campaign, there are a few lessons that he learned that Michael shared:It's important to have the right partners.Always keep in mind why they do what they doYou have to believe in the mission In summary, they are really passionate about getting a solution on how to get people and oncologists in America to increase the uptake of sharing information about clinical trials. They are also involved in traversing all of America, especially rural America navigating patients to get the actual screening. Providing funding through their health equity fund to actually get people in underserved communities to actually get screened. Which has given them the huge task of raising awareness.Michael Sapienza Michael's Website Michael Sapienza is the CEO of the Colorectal Cancer Alliance, the largest colon cancer advocacy group in the country. He lost his mother to colorectal cancer in May 2009. He turned his profound grief into action, inspiring and challenging the colorectal cancer community, family, friends, and professional associates to follow his lead and dedicate themselves to ending colorectal cancer within our lifetime—the mission of the Colorectal Cancer Alliance. Michael founded The Chris4Life Colon Cancer Foundation and served as its President from 2010-2015. In 2016, he led the team that merged the Foundation and the Colon Cancer Alliance, creating the nation's largest colon cancer specific nonprofit, which changed its name to Colorectal Cancer Alliance in 2017 to embrace both the colon and rectal cancer communities. Over the last decade, Michael has become an expert and trusted voice on the topics of colorectal cancer prevention, patient care, and medical research. LinkedIn:
