Esophageal Cancer Action Network

ECAN’s MISSION is to SAVE LIVES by increasing awareness about the link between Reflux Disease and Cancer, promoting early detection, supporting medical innovation to prevent, detect, treat and cure Esophageal Cancer, and providing patients and families with the latest, most reliable medical information and compassionate support. The Esophageal Cancer Action Network (ECAN) is dedicated to improving survival and quality of life for patients with esophageal cancer and related conditions through education, advocacy, and support. ECAN has worked with supporters across the nation to raise awareness about Esophageal Cancer through entertaining and informative events. From rappelling to dancing to famous comedians, ECAN has consistently brought fun events to our supporters—but always with an important, educational message: HEARTBURN CAN CAUSE CANCER! You and Thousands of ECAN Advocates Have Made More than $20 Million Available for Esophageal Cancer Research in Recent Years! Future Funding through this Important Program is Now at Risk!
