Advocacy
Colorectal Cancer Canada (CCC) is a patient-based organization that understands the challenges of coping with the disease. We strive to promote colorectal cancer awareness and education, provide support to patients and their families and advocate on their behalf. CCC is also engaged in broader national and provincial health policy issues that touch all cancer patients, such as: patient values and preferences in health technology assessment, cancer clinical trials and real world evidence.
CCC has three major goals for its advocacy efforts:
- Promoting population-based colorectal cancer screening programs in all provinces and territories
- Cancer prevention through the promotion of healthy lifestyles
- Equal and timely access to effective treatments to improve patient outcomes
