CCA is dedicated to bringing the voice of survivors to battle colorectal cancer through patient support, education, research and advocacy. We are excited about the opportunity to partner with the Colon Cancer Alliance. CCA representatives joined Katie Couric at the press conference in New York City announcing the National Colorectal Cancer Research Alliance's official launch on March 1 st , the first day of National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.
Colorectal cancer includes cancers of the colon, rectum, anus and appendix.
Despite its high incidence, colorectal cancer is one of the most detectable, and if found early enough, most treatable forms of cancer. The Colon Cancer Alliance is committed to ending the suffering brought about by colorectal cancer and to providing support and information for survivors and caregivers. CCA has declared war on colorectal cancer and invites any and all organizations, government agencies, members of the medical community, and individuals to join in their determination to eradicate colorectal cancer. The information provided by the CCA on this website should not be used for diagnosing or treating a health problem or a disease. It is not a substitute for professional care.
