Twenty-eight percent of women surveyed did not schedule a breast cancer screening during the pandemic. Let’s get them “back on the books.” Early detection saves lives.
These tests are blood-based screening tests to detect many types of cancer at the earliest possible stages, before noticeable symptoms occur. Read more about the Foundation’s work on MCED testing and the white paper from our annual Advocacy Workshop.
Thanks to you, we’re funding 10 projects dedicated to increasing cancer prevention and early detection in medically underserved populations, like free mammograms for vulnerable rural and LGBTQ+ communities and colorectal cancer education for high-risk African Americans.
With your support, the Foundation is funding five new cervical cancer prevention and early detection projects in low- or middle-income countries in support of the World Health Organization’s (WHO’s) call for the elimination of cervical cancer by 2030.
