Colorectal Cancer

Stan, Clarence, Barry, and the Health Chatter team chat with Dr. Logan Spector, pediatric cancer epidemiologist at the University of Minnesota, about early onset colorectal cancer and what’s driving its rise in younger populations.

Dr. Spector specializes in understanding the causes of childhood cancers, including leukemia, bone sarcomas, and hepatoblastoma, using both traditional and genetic epidemiologic approaches. He has led or collaborated on numerous National Cancer Institute–funded studies and currently serves as Chair of the Childhood Cancer and Leukemia International Consortium (CLIC), a global effort to better understand cancer causes. Through his work with the Children’s Oncology Group and international partners, Dr. Spector focuses on uncovering patterns, risk factors, and prevention strategies to improve early detection and long-term outcomes.
