CHAMPION INCREASED ACCESS TO LIFESAVING MULTI-CANCER EARLY DETECTION SCREENING TESTS

We’re all affected by cancer—whether the diagnosis is a family member, friend, or you, this deadly disease is the second leading cause of death in the United States. Passing the Nancy Gardner Sewell Medicare Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED) Screening Coverage Act will improve future equitable access to new and innovative blood-based cancer screening methods. This legislation creates a pathway for Medicare to cover these groundbreaking tests, once they are FDA-approved. Innovative multi-cancer screening tests hold the potential to detect cancer earlier than ever before, while dramatically improving cancer detection capabilities.  

Download our fact sheet to learn how this legislation could improve the quality of life for millions of American cancer patients—because everyone with cancer deserves a fighting chance.

How to use a fact sheet

Fact sheets are tools you can use to educate yourself and your legislators. Here are a couple of simple ways you can use them: 

  • Read it! And when you're finished, share it with your network so they can educate themselves too. 
  • Email the fact sheet to your legislator. They have people asking things of them all the time, so putting the facts in front of them, makes it more likely that they will take action.
  • Hand out fact sheets where it feels relevant to teach the larger public about an issue—your health care provider, a book club, a community meeting, or any store that makes sense.
