Every 4 minutes, a person in
the U.S. is diagnosed with colon cancer.
Every 9 minutes, someone dies
of the disease.
Colorectal cancer is the
nation’s second leading cancer killer. The disease causes much pain and
suffering for patients and for the people who love them.
This year:
146,730
Americans will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer.
56,730
Americans will die from colorectal cancer.
The Colon Cancer Alliance is working to
change this...
The Colon Cancer Alliance:
-
Provides patient
support services and facilitates access to information.
-
Educates the public
about colorectal cancer and encourages early detection through appropriate
screening.
-
Supports research for
more effective treatment and cure.
-
Advocates legislation to support public funding for all cancers,
particularly colorectal cancer.
