Esophageal Cancer is the fastest increasing cancer among American men – and one of the deadliest. But Esophageal Cancer is also preventable. That’s why ECAN is relentless about increasing awareness among those at risk so the disease can be prevented or caught at early, treatable stages.

ECAN's mission is to SAVE LIVES.

This is how your gift makes that possible:

Promoting Early Detection by increasing awareness that Heartburn or Reflux Disease can cause Cancer,

Supporting increased funding for Medical Research to Prevent, Detect, Treat & Cure Esophageal Cancer, and

Linking patients and families to Compassionate Support and Trustworthy Education.

Because of generous donors like you, ECAN:

Started Esophageal Cancer Awareness Month in the United States

Is the only organization advocating for increased federal funding for medical research into Esophageal Cancer

>>> That advocacy brought nearly $20 million in new research funding over the past four years!

Ensured that Esophageal Cancer was included in the ground-breaking research of The Cancer Genome Atlas

Filed a petition with the FDA to add cancer warning labels to over-the-counter heartburn remedies

Thanks to YOU, ESOPHAGEAL CANCER ENDS HERE.
