The Louisiana Colorectal Cancer Roundtable (LCCRT)
The 2025 Louisiana Colorectal Cancer Roundtable (LCCRT) Annual Meeting will bring together key colorectal cancer (CRC) leaders and stakeholders for an in-person meeting designed to bring together current members, welcome new participants, and solidify LCCRT as the leading force for impactful work in the fight against CRC.
LCCRT Fast Facts:
- LCCRT began in 2015 as a coalition to bring statewide partners together to increase CRC screening and decrease incidence and mortality from the disease.
- LCCRT Priority Workgroups focus on specific components of CRC work and allow for subject matter experts to share and collaborate with peers.
Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in our state, but it doesn’t have to be. Many Louisianans face barriers to screening and treatment, and while dedicated healthcare professionals across the state are working to address these challenges, we believe that collective action with stakeholders is key.
By bringing our efforts together and identifying opportunities for collaboration, we can significantly improve the trajectory of this disease.
LCCRT brings together healthcare providers, lawmakers, community leaders, and engaged citizens to drive progress in prevention, early detection, and access to quality care. Join LCCRT and help us raise awareness, advocate for policy changes, and build a stronger support network for those affected by this disease.
Together, we can reduce the burden of colorectal cancer and build a healthier Louisiana.
