Colon Cancer Alliance


Colon Cancer Alliance (CCA) is the largest colorectal cancer non-profit organization in the U.S., with over 37,000 members and several nationwide chapters. The CCA is dedicated to ending the suffering caused by colorectal cancer through patient support, education, research and advocacy.

The CCA offers a variety of patient support services including a national conference, regional seminars (Conversations about Colorectal Cancer), a toll-free helpline, chat forum, and the Buddy Program, which provides both survivors and caregivers with a chance to connect with someone who has gone through a similar experience. The CCA Web site includes information about issues including screening, treatment, clinical trials, quality of life and financial issues. The CCA also distributes colorectal cancer awareness merchandise and printed materials.
