Hereditary Colon Cancer Association: The Power of Patient Advocacy
Beth Schreiber
Executive Director

The Hereditary Colon Cancer Association (HCCA) is a non-profit advocacy group established to provide information to patients, families, and friends of those who have familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP/Gardner syndrome), Turcot syndrome, juvenile polyposis, Peutz-Jegher syndrome, attenuated adenomatous polyposis coli (AAPC), and hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC).

Our goal is the prevention of colorectal cancer through education, advocacy, and research. The HCCA will put out a triannual newsletter with the latest updates on these rare hereditary diseases, our Website address, and information on symposia that are open to both medical professionals and interested persons and patients. Our annual conference will provide an opportunity for families to network and also meet some of the leading specialists in the treatment of hereditary colorectal cancers.

We need you to help us accomplish these goals. The work we do now and in the coming years may very well change our lives and protect our children's futures. Please contact us to be put on our mailing list for the HCCA newsletter and conference information.
