Elected Officials: Prioritize Policies That Fight Cancer

You can take actions to help protect yourself from cancer—and your state can too with systematic interventions, such as policies, programs, and educational campaigns, to reduce cancer risk factors and to support the use of cancer screening.

State cancer screenings in accordance with American Cancer Society guidelines vary widely, according to the recently released "Cancer Prevention & Early Detection Facts & Figures 2026".  

Tell your elected officials to pass legislation and advance policy changes at every level of government that save more lives from cancer.
