We are proud to support S. 5051, the Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage Act and applaud the leadership U.S. Senators Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), Michael Bennet (D-Colorado), Tim Scott (R-South Carolina) and Ben Cardin (D-Maryland).  This step follows an early December introduction of H.R. 8845 in the House of Representatives.

GO2 for Lung Cancer’s overarching mission is to transform survivorship for those impacted by the disease.  A cornerstone to this goal is detecting and managing lung cancer at its earliest, most treatable and curable stage.  In addition to advancing the responsible implementation of early detection imaging strategies nationwide, we also have many new innovative medical technologies coming on line that can screen for cancers before symptoms develop. We must make certain that people – especially our elderly, vulnerable and underserved – also have easy and affordable access to these new tests at the earliest stage possible and that our health care system is modernized to keep pace with these life-saving breakthroughs. This legislation achieves both and is win – win for all. We look forward to working together to advance this important legislative initiative.
