Research is constantly under way in the area of colorectal cancer. Scientists are looking for causes and ways to prevent colorectal cancer as well as ways to improve treatments. The CCAC is committed to providing support, advocacy and awareness in respect of colorectal cancer. In doing so, it is our hope that patients and caregivers will ultimately acquire a sense of empowerment and regain the lost feeling of control in their lives.
