About Us
The Colorado Cancer Coalition (CCC) is a statewide collaborative working to eliminate the burden of cancer in Colorado. We bring together survivors, caregivers, health professionals, researchers, advocates, and community organizations to strengthen prevention, improve access to care, and enhance survivorship for all Coloradans.
Through our network of Task Forces, community partnerships, and evidence-based initiatives, we connect people and programs across the cancer continuum – from prevention and early detection to treatment, survivorship, and palliative care.
Our goal is to ensure that every person in Colorado – no matter where they live – has access to high-quality cancer prevention, screening, treatment, and support services. By aligning efforts statewide, we amplify impact, close gaps in care, and create lasting systems change.
Together, we are building a Colorado where everyone has the opportunity to live beyond cancer.
Our Task Forces
Spotlight on Cancer Screenings in Colorado
Statewide progress toward early detection through mammogram, colorectal, and lung screenings.
Colorectal Cancer Screening in Colorado (2022 – 2024)
Adults aged 45–75 years who meet screening guidelines
Data source: Colorado Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS)
Lung Cancer Screening in Colorado (2024)
Adults in Colorado who meet U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) eligibility criteria that were screened.
The USPSTF recommends annual screening for lung cancer with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) in adults aged 50 to 80 years who have a 20 pack-year smoking history and currently smoke or have quit within the past 15 years. This population is considered high risk.
