Anal Cancer

Choose Hope offers a variety of Anal Cancer Awareness Products.

Anal cancer is fairly rare, much less common than cancer of the colon or rectum.  Approximately 9,400 new cases will be diagnosed in the United States this year with nearly a 2-to-1 diagnosis ratio in women compared to men.  Anal Cancer is also more common in white women and black men.  The number of new anal cancer cases has been rising for many years, with the average age of diagnosis in the early 60’s.

Anal Cancer is a newer addition to the Choose Hope line of products and is represented by a Purple & Green ribbon.
