The government is the only body with access to the amount of money needed to perform the appropriate breast cancer research, and explore cause and effect relationships that could lead to breast cancer prevention and a cure. Sustained and significant involvement on the federal level is the only way to end breast cancer.
Elected officials also have the power to change systems of access to care and treatment, including the reform of the health care system, regulation of the drug approval process and public health campaigns and access to new drugs. This is why, since our founding, NBCC has addressed breast cancer as a political issue.
Make sure your members of Congress know where you stand in the mission to end breast cancer.
We are dedicated to ending breast cancer through the power of grassroots action and advocacy.
