Working toward the shared goal of 80% screened for colorectal cancer by 2018
80% by 2018 is a NCCRT initiative in which more than 1,500 organizations—including medical professional societies, academic centers, survivor groups, government agencies, cancer coalitions, cancer centers, payers and many others—have committed to the shared goal of 80% of adults aged 50 and older being regularly screened for colorectal cancer by 2018.
What happens after 80% by 2018? The NCCRT is charting the course for our work to increase colorectal screening beyond 2018.
As we plan for our next phase of work, we are dropping “by 2018” from the 80% by 2018 pledge. The “80% Pledge” shows our ongoing commitment to this important work and encourages new partners to join a sustained and future-oriented effort.
We all have a role to play in saving lives from colorectal cancer. Learn how you can support 80% by 2018.
