Colorectal Cancer Alliance
Colorectal cancer refers to cancer in the colon and/or rectum, or both. Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in the US, and the second leading cause of cancer death. It affects men and women of all racial and ethnic groups, and is most often found in people 50 years or older. The Colorectal Cancer Alliance mission is to empower a nation of allies who work with us to provide support for patients and families, caregivers, and survivors; to raise awareness of preventive measures; and inspire efforts to fund critical research.
