Colorectal Cancer Coalition

For Patients

Colorectal cancer is preventable, treatable, and beatable.

C3 is dedicated to bringing this message, loud and clear, to the public and to people living with colon or rectal cancer.

Our patient information covers the full range of colorectal cancer health needs . . . from preventing colorectal cancer through the many issues of treatment through long-term questions of survivorship. All our patient education materials are reviewed by members of the C3 Medical Advisory Network for accuracy.

A clinical trial is an important option at every point in cancer treatment. C3 offers information on how to choose the right trial for you and help and finding trials.

If you want to help spread the word that we can prevent and treat and, finally beat, colorectal cancer, you can order materials including Blue Star of Hope pins, blue bracelets to share with friends, and brochures that tell the story of C3 and of cancer prevention and treatment. Having an event? There’s a special Event Box that combines the materials you most need to build awareness that we can beat this disease.

Three times a year, C3 publishes Momentum, a newsletter that covers the latest research information, stories about cutting-edge treatment, and what C3 advocates are doing to push both policy and awareness. You can subscribe to Momentum to receive it in the mail or read past issues online.

People who have questions about living with colorectal cancer, can also talk to a C3 Answer Line Associate over the phone or via email. The toll-free C3 Answer Line phone number is 1-877-4CRC-111 (1-877-427-2111). Or you can email an Answer Line Associate.
