#MegaColon

The #MegaColon is an highly interactive educational tool that travels to communities across America with the take home message that colorectal cancer (CRC) is preventable, beatable, and treatable disease that no one has to die from.

Bring the #MegaColon to your community so visitors can get an up-close look at:

  • normal colon tissue
  • tissue with non-malignant colorectal disease like Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s
  • colorectal polyps
  • various stages of CRC

If you are interesting in reserving our #MegaColon–that has text in English and Spanish–for your next event, pleaseclick here.
