Mississippi ACS CAN Marks World Cancer Day With Cancer Action Day at the Capitol

On World Cancer Day, Mississippi ACS CAN (American Cancer Society's Cancer Action Network) turned advocacy into action. During Cancer Action Day on February 4, advocates gathered with state leaders for a breakfast and press conference to emphasize the importance of expanding access to biomarker testing. This testing helps ensure patients receive the right treatment at the right time, and policy plays a vital role in making that access possible.
