Hello everybody. Welcome to Health Chatter. Today's show is going to be on early onset colorectal cancer. Got a wonderful guest. We'll get to him in a minute. Our crew is second to none. They help us with everything in order to make these shows successful and meaningful. Our research crew includes Maddie Levine-Wolf, Aaron Collins, and Deandra Howard, marketing Sheridan Nygaard. She also helps with research. Our production person is Matthew Campbell, who does our recording and also gets it out to you, the listening audience, with nice music attached. Great colleagues, Clarence Jones and Dr. Barry Baines provide some useful insights, both from a public health perspective and medical perspective. Thank you to them.
Great friends and colleagues. Human Partnership is our sponsor for all these shows. Great community health organization. And they do a lot of work. wonderful, creative things in order to promote health in the community. Hugh Mann Partnership. You can check them out at Hugh, H-U-E Mann Partnership Alliance dot org. And you can check us out at Health Chatter Podcast. You can listen to the shows, and we also have transcriptions of the shows on there as well. So thanks to everybody for making all our shows to this point wonderful and meaningful. Clarence, I'm going to turn it over to you to introduce our wonderful guest today.
Thank you, Stan. You know, I'm pretty excited about introducing Dr. Logan. He and I have been working together for, I don't know, three, four, five years. I mean, I met him through a project which was around prostate cancer and barbecue, which is very, very important for Black men. the conversation of prostate cancer, but also barbecue. And so we did a study on that. And so it's been exciting for me to work with him and to get to know him. And so he's a pediatric cancer epidemiologist who specializes in the causes of childhood cancer. His work includes both traditional and genetic epidemiological approaches. He's been a PI or co-PI on nine National Cancer Institute-funded studies of childhood cancer.
He works in collaboration with colleagues and trainees locally, nationally, and internationally at the University of Minnesota. So he's also the immediate past chair of the Children's Oncological Group. So he's a very, very busy person, but also a very, very important person. Currently, he's chair of CLIC, which talks about epidemiological studies of pediatric cancers from across the world to better ascertain their causes. And the ultimate goal of Dr. Specter's research is to enable the prediction, early detection, and eventual prevention of childhood cancer. And one of the reasons why I'm excited about him is that uh, we had a conversation, uh, uh, not necessarily, uh, associated with this podcast where we started talking about colon cancer, uh, among that is getting, uh, hitting younger and younger people.
I thought like we've had Dr. Logan on here to talk a little bit about that. So that's kind of an introduction to him. I think he has a very sparkling personality, which will come forth. Um, but, uh, I want to turn it back to you, Stan.
What are the statistics on early onset colorectal cancer?
Let's, let's get going. Let's be into, uh, uh, uh, invite Dr. Logan into this conversation. So, Dr. Logan, welcome to our program.
Thank you for having me, Clarence. And let me just say that that project we had together was one of the most fun things that I've ever done in science. So, You know, it's just a pleasure to meet you. Part of the fun is that, you know, half the sample is collected at the state fair. And, you know, I'd just like to put a plug in for our research building at the state fair, the Driven to Discover building. It's at 1367 Cosgrove for those of you who live in Minnesota. Yeah.
Yeah.
You know, I can only imagine that, you know, some research on where barbecue is involved. You know, what can be bad, you know?
You know, if you allow me to ramble a little bit, you know, it's not the act of barbecuing that, you know, that's a fantastic like art. And I love barbecue. But it's it's burning things, you know.
