TAKE THE PLEDGE

DID YOU KNOW?

COLORECTAL CANCER IS UP TO 90% TREATABLE & CURABLE IF DETECTED IN ITS EARLY STAGES. 

We are calling out to all organizations to partner with us to help raise awareness of the disease and the importance of screening to ensure that no Canadian dies of colorectal cancer due to lack of awareness .

Join us in raising awareness and promoting screening to combat this trend.

Your pledge makes a difference in saving lives. 

50%

OF COLORECTAL CANCER CASES OCCUR AMONG WORKING AGE INDIVIDUALS


Canadian guidelines recommend that average risk * individuals aged 50-74, be screened every 2 years for colorectal cancer via a FIT (stool test). Although this at-home screening test is simple, effective and pain free, participation rates remain alarmingly low.

*average risk: People aged 50-74 with no symptoms and no previous personal or family history or related syndromes.



Every person you tell about colorectal cancer screening is another potential life saved!

Why Pledge?

By taking the pledge, your organization is affirming its commitment to the health and safety of its members. Early detection is essential in the fight against colorectal cancer, which remains the 2nd leading cause of cancer death. However, when detected at an early stage, over 90% of cases can be treated and cured, underscoring the importance of participating in screening and knowing the signs and symptoms. 


Every person you tell about colorectal cancer screening is another potential life saved!
