Colorado Cancer Research Program

CCRP began in 1983 as Colorado’s first and only regional and community research organization, an affiliate of the National Cancer Institute (NCI). Since then, their work has resulted in numerous discoveries and breakthroughs that have resulted in a level of rapid progress in cancer control that was never before thought possible. CCRP continues to be a key player in the development and implementation of cutting edge clinical trials as well as innovative treatment protocols that offer patients an entirely new spectrum of options and REAL hope for extending and saving lives. Cancers that were previously a certain death sentence upon diagnosis are now treatable and even survivable. Their work in the field of genomic research has helped to create innovative new approaches and expanded cancer prevention options for those who may have a genetic predisposition for a certain type of cancer, as well as improving symptom control for those who are on a successful track to healing. CCRP partners with hospitals, community clinics and physicians/oncologists throughout Colorado as well as in Wyoming, so that patients have local access in their own communities to cutting edge cancer treatment, symptom control and prevention, rather than having to travel long distances, as they once did---often out of state, to receive such treatments that have the potential of extending and saving their lives.
