Welcome to EuropaColon

Established in 2004 EuropaColon is the first European organisation dedicated to colorectal cancer (CRC) and it aims to unite patients, carers, healthcare professionals, politicians, the media and the public in the fight against the disease.

Over the past years we have watched with great pride and respect those people who have dedicated their time and efforts to fighting the disease.  Thanks to EuropaColon's Affiliate and Associate groups enormous advances have been made in:  disseminating responsible CRC information; raising awareness of prevention and control of the disease and most importantly actively lobbying for access to best treatments and care.

In Europe more than 450,000 people are diagnosed with colorectal cancer each year and around 230,000 will die from the disease in addition the number of new colorectal cancer cases continue to rise in part driven by the increase in the ageing populations of Europe.

European Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month (ECCAM) March 2012 was initially launched by EuropaColon in 2008 in the European Parliament.  

Now in its 4th year EuropaColon´s 21 affiliates and associate groups are carrying out numerous high profile activities throughout Europe to raise awareness of the disease and the importance of early diagnosis through screening.  

EuropaColon's groups aim to unite patients, carers, healthcare professionals, politicians, the media and the public in the fight against the disease will have its greatest impact in the month of March. During the month we will provide regular updates on each country´s activities and the impact they are achieving starting with Portugal and Netherlands.
