Our Why

The rates of colorectal cancer cases are rising rapidly among young adults.  According to the MD Anderson Cancer Center, cases are projected to increase 90% in patients under 35 by 2030.

​

Colorectal cancer is the most preventable form of cancer. BCCAP wants to put colorectal cancer on young adults' radars, encouraging them to take steps to lower their risk.
