CCA and Kellogg Teaming Up to Promote Colon Health

The CCA and Kellogg have joined forces for Digestive Disease Week in San Diego beginning May 19th to promote good colon health and cancer screening. Stop by the CCA’s booth to journey through a larger-than-life colon and learn more. The CCA and Kellogg encourage all healthcare professionals to talk to their patients about how they can maintain a healthy colon by eating a diet of healthy, high-fiber foods and being screened for colon cancer.

Learn more about this partnership.

May is Cancer Research Month

Research is imperative to finding new ways to prevent and cure colon cancer. New therapies discovered and tested through clinical trials are changing the way we approach cancer treatment. The CCA provides a free and confidential Clinical Trial Matching Service to help you find the trial that is right for you.

Learn more about clinical trials.

The Colon Cancer Alliance (CCA) is a community that provides hope and support to patients and their families, while saving lives through screening, access, awareness, advocacy and research.

Special thanks to Ethicon Endo-Surgery and Genentech for their generous support of CCA's Website.
