Learn more about the newest resource that the ACS NCCRT will release to help increase CRC screening rates in rural communities!

People living in rural, remote, and frontier settings face higher CRC incidence and mortality rates, increased prevalence of risk factors associated with CRC, and unique barriers to cancer screenings when compared to non-rural residents. Next month, the ACS NCCRT will release a best practice guidebook designed to support key community partners in understanding and overcoming the unique challenges and common barriers to CRC screening faced in rural communities.
