Vision

The Colon Cancer Alliance is a leader in eliminating the suffering and death caused by colorectal cancer.

Mission

The Colon Cancer Alliance is committed to ending the suffering and death caused by colorectal cancer.

We will increase screening rates and survivorship by providing support and education and furthering research and advocacy efforts.

CCA's Guiding Principles:

• Patient support - CCA provides patient support through a supportive community of peers and experts. We also offer a variety of disease management services to help patients and their loved ones cope with the tragedy of this disease.

• Education - CCA offers educational resources including the best and most up-to-date information available about treatments and clinical trials devoted to colorectal cancer. We also work to educate the public and remove financial, medical and psychological barriers that hinder early detection.

• Research - CCA works with other organizations to increase federal, state and private funding for research of all cancers, particularly that which will be devoted to finding more effective treatments and a cure for colorectal cancer.

• Advocacy - CCA is dedicated to advancing and championing the cause of colon cancer patients and their families. Our advocacy efforts help ensure that all departments of Government and those who affect policy are made aware of the needs of the colorectal cancer community.
