Help for Colon Cancer Sufferers and Their Families

This program, part of the Samuel Oschin Comprehensive Cancer Institute at Cedars-Sinai, was established by entertainment personality Sharon Osbourne following her own battle with colon cancer.

Inspired by the superlative care she received, Mrs. Osbourne joined forces with Cedars-Sinai's renowned surgeon Dr. Edward Phillips to harness key resources needed to help other colon cancer sufferers in the community.
