Early detection saves lives. That's why American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network is advocating for the #MCEDAct , which is key to helping increase early detection of more cancers for more people. Katherine Clark, will you join the growing list of 260+ bipartisan cosponsors and renew your sponsorship of this bill?
Together with American Cancer Society, we look forward to continuing to work with the Biden Administration to end cancer as we know it, for everyone.
To achieve the #CancerMoonshot & cut the cancer death rate by at least 50% in the next 25 years, we must prioritize cancer research, early detection & prevention—The White House has a meaningful opportunity to make progress in the latter by finalizing the menthol rules immediately.
Today President Biden proclaimed April as National Cancer Prevention & Early Detection Month to 'honor the enormous courage and strength of the millions of Americans facing the disease today and of the many millions of survivors, whose resilience inspires us all.' whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…
