Guests had an opportunity to talk with Cleveland Clinic Digestive Disease Center physicians and colorectal cancer researchers, including Campaign Medical Chair Victor Fazio, M.D., James Church, M.D., Graham Casey, Ph.D., Matt Kalady, M.D., Daniel Geisler, M.D., as well as CEO and President Delos M.
