Michigan Colorectal Cancer Control Program (MI CRCCP)
Cancer is a disease in which cells grow out of control. When cancer starts in the colon or rectum, it is called colorectal cancer. Sometimes, it is called colon cancer for short. The colon is the large intestine or large bowel. The rectum is the tube that connects the colon to the anus (the end of the large intestine, where food waste exits from the body).
Together, Michigan Colorectal Cancer Control Program (MI CRCCP) staff and their partners work to increase and improve the quality of colorectal cancer screening and follow-up testing in health systems and primary care clinics serving populations who are medically underserved.
This page provides information about colorectal cancer risk factors, screening recommendations, MI CRCCP strategies and accomplishments, and links to a variety of resources that can be used to promote colorectal cancer prevention, screening, and follow-up testing.
