CDC - Colorectal Cancer Control Program

Colorectal Cancer Control Program (CRCCP)

CDC has launched the Colorectal Cancer Control Program (CRCCP) by providing funding to 26 states and tribes across the United States. The program supports population-based screening efforts and provides colorectal cancer screening services to low-income men and women aged 50–64 years who are underinsured or uninsured for screening, when no other insurance is available. The CRCCP expands on CDC's Colorectal Cancer Screening Demonstration Program.

The funding will support screening and diagnostic follow-up care, patient navigation, data collection and tracking, public education and outreach, provider education, and an evaluation to measure the clinical outcomes, costs, and effectiveness of the program. The local programs are expected to begin screening patients for colorectal cancer within six months.
