Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month: Take Action This March
This March, we’re raising our voices for prevention, early detection, and action. Join us, share your story, and bring awareness to your community.
Colorectal cancer affects people of all ages—but it is rising fastest among younger adults. New research published by the American Cancer Society in JAMA confirms what patients and advocates have been sounding the alarm on for years: colorectal cancer is now the leading cause of cancer death in the United States.
At current rates, more than 55,000 people in the U.S. are expected to die from colorectal cancer in 2026. While death rates from other major cancers have declined, colorectal cancer deaths have increased by more than 1% each year since 2005, making it the only one of the top five cancer killers still moving in the wrong direction.
This is not a future risk. It is a present-day crisis.
