Symptoms of Colorectal Cancer: Changes in Bowel Habits, Blood or Changes in Stool, Pain and Bloating, Weight Loss

Early-onset colorectal cancer is considered relatively rare, but both incidence and mortality rates are increasing in people under age 50. NCI recently issued a special research request for grant applications in areas such as risk factors, biomarkers, screening methods, and preventive interventions.

The National Cancer Institute’s (NCI’s) Board of Scientific Advisors (BSA) recently approved two new concept proposals aimed at expanding potential prevention interventions. One will strengthen research in the nascent field of immunoprevention, and the other will accelerate the development of novel natural products for intercepting cancer at the earliest stages of disease. 

MISSION STATEMENT

The Division of Cancer Prevention furthers the mission of the National Cancer Institute by leading, supporting, and promoting rigorous, innovative research and training to prevent cancer and its consequences to improve the health of all people.
