  Canada," said Barry D. Stein, president of the Colorectal Cancer Association of Canada. Ontario joins British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Quebec, Newfoundland, and Nova Scotia in providing public reimbursement of Avastin."This means that thousands of first-line metastatic colorectal cancer patients in Ontario will be offered Avastin, an innovative biologic medication which prolongs life in patients, and for some may offer a cure when coupled with surgery," Stein added. Concerning the Ontario government's additional announcement today that it intends to require the K-ras mutation test, a test that indicates which patients are more likely to benefit from certain treatments, namely Vectibix and Erbitux, the CCAC hopes the province will provide its funding."This is an important test and will provide patients with the opportunity for tailor-made treatments," said Stein.

  "Few Canadians know that regular screening can help prevent colorectal cancer by detecting pre-cancerous polyps," says Barry Stein."Our suffering and burden from colorectal cancer in this country is among the highest in the world.Screening is also critical to detect the disease in its earliest, most curable stages and several research studies show that colorectal cancer death rates could be reduced by between 15 and 33 percent if screening takes place," Barry adds.
  
  (NC)-March marks National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, and Barry Stein, President of the Colorectal Cancer Association of Canada and a colon cancer survivor, wants Canadians to know that the goal of the campaign is to generate widespread awareness about this disease and to encourage people to learn more about how to reduce their risk of the disease through regular screening and by leading a healthy lifestyle.

  "We applaud the Ontario government for its commitment to preventing cancer, specifically the province-wide screening program, but prevention and screening are only half the battle," said Barry D. Stein, President of the CCAC.
  ...
  "There is a concerning gap between screening and treatment in this province," continued Mr. Stein, "By rejecting public access to Avastin, the provincial government has set a dangerous precedent for future life-extending innovative medicines in Ontario.

  Barry Stein, president of the Colorectal Cancer Association of Canada, said funding will have a huge impact" on Ontario cancer patients.
  
  There's always going to be something more, and if $30 million isn't enough, certainly we'll be there to ask the government to extend the program," he said.
  
  Ontario is the sixth province to fund Avastin, along with Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Quebec, Saskatchewan and British Columbia.
  
  About 21,500 Canadians are expected to be diagnosed with colorectal cancer this year and 8,900 will die from the disease, Stein stated.

  CCAC President Barry Stein said the organization uses donations to fund awareness and education campaigns, to provide support programs for patients and to advocate for screening and timely treatments.
  
  Events such as the Crack-A-Smile comedy night do more than just bring in donations; they serve to spread the message that screening is vital to saving lives, he said.
  
  Colorectal cancer is one of the most deadly but preventable forms of cancer.
  
  If caught in the early stages, there's a 90% chance that colon cancer can be cured.
  
  Stein said that in more than half of the cases, the cancer has already spread when diagnosed.
