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.
