Colon and Rectal Cancer (colorectal cancer)

MARCH 2010 - 3rd European Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month (ECCAM)

In today's world there are few families that have not been touched by cancer.  Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide (WHO 2004) and the biggest public health crisis facing Europe.  Colorectal cancer is the second biggest killer in Europe and yet it is highly treatable if it is diagnosed early! Detection through screening and treatment at an early stage of the disease can and will make a difference!

During March 2010 europacolon's Affiliates and Associates across Europe will be holding various events and programmes to mark ECCAM. These events range from Public Awareness Campaigns, Press Conferences, Political Lobbying, Screening Workshops to launching updated websites with Forums and Chat Rooms, Newsletters and most importantly expanding their Information Line Services to patients and the general public amongst others on dietary advice.

Our Inflatable Colons are travelling across Europe in their quest to raise awareness of colorectal cancer amid the general public. During March the Inflatable Colon will be visiting: France, Greece, Holland, Latvia, Italy and the UK. We are also delighted to announce that the Inflatable Colon continues to be exhibitied  in UAE and Japan. 

We will be updating our website as we receive more information from around Europe on the successess of our Affiliates and Associates various events and programmes.
