New ASCO analysis on Comprehensive Cancer Care Improvement Act

A new ASCO issue brief examines the Comprehensive Cancer Care Improvement Act, introduced in December 2011 by Representatives Lois Capps (D-Calif.) and Charles Boustany (R-La).

The issue brief examines the Act’s potential to improve survivorship care throughout the cancer care continuum by supporting coverage of comprehensive cancer care planning, establishing grant programs to increase provider education of palliative care and symptom management, and investing in survivorship-related research.

Use ASCO’s ACT Network to contact lawmakers in your state to urge them to sign-on to this important legislation.
