Resources for survivors under 50
Our never too young program
Young-onset colorectal cancer patients and survivors face unique challenges. The Alliance’s Never Too Young (N2Y) Program, with the support of a dedicated Taskforce, is changing how the world sees this disease.
Monitoring for recurrence
Now that you have completed your treatment, you and your care team should discuss your follow-up care plan. The plan will include ongoing monitoring for cancer recurrence and should also address lifestyle and emotional needs.
Clinical trials for survivors
Clinical trials test cutting-edge approaches for treating, diagnosing, or preventing colorectal cancer. Be a part of research while being proactive as a young-onset survivor.

Most people don't know that colorectal cancer is the second deadliest cancer in the United States or that it's highly preventable — and that’s why we’re turning up the volume on this disease.
