Colorectal cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the U.S. It will be diagnosed in more than 145,000 people this year and will kill more than 51,000. In 2016, more than 1.3 million people were living with colorectal cancer. The median age at diagnosis is 67 years of age.
The V Foundation has funded nearly $6 million in colorectal cancer research, including investment in research into the microbiome. Colon Cancer, when discovered early, is highly treatable.
Join the fight alongside the V Foundation to fund critical resources that advance our understanding of how to prevent, detect, and treat this disease. Together we can end colorectal cancer within our lifetime.
