Fight Colorectal Cancer

Every month, advocates come together to stay informed, connected, & ready💪 Be part of our next Advocacy Action Hour on May 21 at 8:30 PM EST focused on the #ColorectalCancer Care Initiative. RSVP now: fightcrc.org/advoevents Big thanks to @TakedaOncology for their support 💙

90 Members of Congress support creating a dedicated Colorectal Cancer Research Program within the Department of Defense — and that happened because advocates showed up. 👏 Every meeting on Capitol Hill. Every email sent. Every phone call made. Every story shared. Advocates ensured that the voice of the colorectal cancer community was heard and helped grow meaningful support for colorectal cancer research. This is major progress and it is thanks to every relentless voice that refused to stay silent. We aren't at the finish line yet, but we are ready to turn this momentum into lasting change.

“Two truths can exist at the same time: early detection matters, and prevention matters. But they are not interchangeable.” Powerful words from our CEO, @AnjeeDavis. Prevention and early detection both play a critical role in saving lives from #colorectalcancer — and we must continue prioritizing both. 💪 Read the full article below. ⤵️

Dr. Swati G. Patel (@swatigp) from the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus (@CUAnschutz) shared research at #DDW2026 on why #colorectalcancer can still occur after a colonoscopy—and what we’re continuing to learn about improving prevention. Her work is an important reminder that the quality of a colonoscopy matters. Looking for a trusted provider? Check out #FightCRC's Provider Finder: fightcolorectalcancer.org/patient-caregi…

@AlexThomsonMD, who works alongside #FightCRC Board Member @drfolamay at @UCLA, presented a research poster at #DDW2026 on ways to help more people get screened for #ColorectalCancer. Their research looked at a shared decision aid that helps people learn about their colorectal cancer screening options and choose the screening test that may be right for them. The study found that people who completed the decision aid were more likely to get screened, with colonoscopy being the most commonly chosen option. This work shows how clear information and support can help more people take the next step for their health. Great work, Dr. Thompson, Dr. May, and the UCLA team! 👏💙 Learn about your screening options: fightcrc.org/screening #ScreeningSavesLives #MayLabUCLA #UCLAGI #StrongArmSelfie

Dr. Richard Goldberg, former Fight CRC Board Member and renowned GI oncology leader, sat down with @oncodaily to discuss the evolving #colorectalcancer treatment landscape and the urgent need for progress as diagnoses rise in younger adults. This episode is shared in memory of Asal Sayal — a young advocate, colleague, and friend, whose life and work reflected a deep commitment to changing the future of this disease. She passed away of early-onset colorectal cancer on April 22, 2026. “Until we can give patients the hope of cure, we have miles to go before we sleep.” Listen to the full conversation: lnkd.in/giN9hDV5

@PeachyCure Thank you for taking action 💪

@FightCRC I did it. Good luck!

#CRC is the #1 cancer killer for people under 50, yet it still lacks dedicated research funding within the Department of Defense. That's CRAP‼️ Take action in less than a minute to tell your Senator to change that. Help fund lifesaving CRC research: votervoice.net/iframes/FightC…
