When detected early, colorectal cancer is curable in 90% of cases, while the 5-year survival rate is only 14.3% in the presence of metastases, making it the second leading cause of cancer death in France.
Insufficient Screening
Unfortunately, talking about bowel movements remains taboo, and today, only 34.2% of eligible individuals (aged 50 to 74) participate in organized screening programs, a figure still far from European recommendations and the national target of 65%.
Changing the Mindset
The main reasons are fear of the results, the perceived lack of glamour of the topic, or reluctance to accept the idea of aging. This is why the ARC Foundation is breaking down taboos with its new, unconventional campaign, "Don't give up until they give up!", which aims to change attitudes by encouraging colorectal cancer screening.
A Public Health Mission
This mobilization reflects a genuine public health mission. The time has come to stop putting off until tomorrow what can save lives today. By encouraging everyone to play an active role in raising awareness, the ARC Foundation demonstrates that a simple gesture can have a profound impact.
