March: National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month
March 4, 2016: Among cancers that affect both men and women, colorectal cancer (cancer of the colon or rectum) is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that every year about 140,000 Americans are diagnosed with colorectal cancer, and more than 50,000 people die from it. March is "Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month,” a time to purposefully support patients, rally researchers, and educate all, as we focus on reducing the burden of and working toward a cure for this deadly disease. The member institutions of the Big Ten Cancer Research Consortium continue leading this charge, united in purpose and diverse in talent.
