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.

We are an independent charity and are not backed by a large company or society. We raise every penny ourselves to improve the standards of cancer care through education. You can help us continue our work to address inequalities in cancer care by making a donation.
Any donation, however small, contributes directly towards the costs of creating and sharing free oncology education.
Together we can get better outcomes for patients by tackling global inequalities in access to the results of cancer research.
Thank you for your support.
