Empowering Cancer Warriors With the Right Information
RollForCancer.Org is committed to helping everyone fight Colorectal Cancer. We have been a charitable and fundraising organization empowering cancer warriors since 2014.
Our Mission
Roll for Cancer is a non-profit association organized in the state of Massachusetts. RFC conducts fundraising events to raise funds for the support of research, treatment, education, and resources for patients with colorectal cancer. Our mission is to bring together health care professionals and community members to increase awareness of colorectal cancer and the impact it has on our lives and in society today. If you are interested in helping our cause, please volunteer today!
A disease in which normal cells in the lining of the colon or rectum begin to change, grow without control, and no longer die.
Screening at age 50 is the key to preventing colorectal cancer.
Colon cancer treatment programs vary by the stage of the disease at the time of surgery (if operable) or at the time of diagnosis (if metastatic or not operable).
Rectal cancer treatment programs vary by the stage of the disease, and whether it is operable or not. A treatment program may initially be defined at the time of diagnosis based on the "Clinical stage" (see below), and further treatment may be required after surgical removal of the tumor based on the "Pathologic stage"
Scientists explain what research is being done on colon cancer.
Making an Impact
RollForCancer.Org, is here to make an impact for all Colorectal cancer patients. Early cases can begin as noncancerous polyps as these often have no symptoms but can be detected by screening. For this reason, our doctors recommend screenings for those at high risk or over the age of 50.
Colorectal cancer symptoms depend on the size and location of cancer. Some commonly experienced symptoms include changes in bowel habits, stool consistency, blood in the stool, and abdominal discomfort. Colorectal cancer treatment depends on the size, location, and spread of cancer. Common treatments include surgery to remove cancer, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.
