| New ASCO analysis on Comprehensive Cancer Care Improvement Act |
| 16 Feb 2012 |
| 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. ASCO supports the CCIA, along with 38 National Cancer Institute designated comprehensive cancer centers across the country and 23 cancer advocacy organizations. To voice support for H.R. 3705 and learn about other ASCO policy initiatives, please visit ASCO’s ACT Network at http://capwiz.com/asco/home/. |
