Description

Colorectal cancer is rising at an alarming rate among younger women, challenging traditional screening models and diagnostic assumptions. Since 1995, incidence rates in women under 50 have increased sharply, with some studies suggesting rates now 82% higher than in men of the same age group. Despite this shift, women continue to face delayed diagnoses and gaps in access to effective screening and diagnostic tools.

Join us for a discussion with women leaders from clinical practice and the medical device field to examine how diagnostic devices can close this gap. Drawing on real-world clinical experience and device development insight, the discussion will focus on next-generation screening and diagnostic technologies—from advanced endoscopic devices and imaging systems to minimally invasive and at-home diagnostics.
