Help us grow

Your interest in esophageal cancer is important to us. We need your support, whether that be a donation, volunteering, outreach or simple interest.

Help the ECAA

The ECAA is an all-volunteer organization derived from the EC community of patients, caregivers, family and friends.

Important support comes from those wishing to show support for someone undergoing treatment or to honor the memory of those who fell to EC.

To move ahead by increasing awareness of issues of survivorship and quality of life, more people and more resources must engage in the effort.

The EC community is sparse in the USA, but enormous throughout the world, where EC may be a major cause of death in parts of Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Through the internet we can cooperate with patients and medical organizations around the world.

We need your help!

Volunteering

We're guessing that you're here because you, or someone close to you has been affected by this disease.

We want to have involved members, where possible, knowing full well the problem that poses for many. So we are going to have various committees working in cyberspace, rather than in the local church basement or lodge hall.

If you have interests in publications, education, or communication, or want to work in development (fund raising), governmental liaison (lobbying is limited, but vital), scientific advisors, or web support, send us a short statement of interest and summary of your experience.

All we're asking you is to tell us who you are. This is so that we may contact you in the future when we have detailed methods for accomplishing our mission.

In return, your privacy will be respected and your information will never be shared with any other party, except as required by law and by your knowledge and consent in advance. Your privacy is as important to us as it is to you.
