The Collaborative Group of the Americas on Inherited Gastrointestinal Cancer (CGA-IGC) was established in 1995 to improve understanding of the basic science of inherited colorectal cancer and the clinical management of affected families, with an emphasis on the particular aspects of caring for families living in the Americas. The Expert Approach to Hereditary Gastrointestinal Cancers podcast series (seasons 1 and 2), and more recently, the Journal Club podcast series (season 3, 4, 5), are presented by the CGA-IGC Education Committee.
