Despite major advances in research and treatment, breast cancer continues to claim tens of thousands of lives each year. Early detection saves lives — but too many patients face financial barriers to diagnostic and supplemental imaging that can make all the difference.

On October 22, The Hill will convene lawmakers, clinicians, advocates, and patients for Screening Saves Lives: Closing the Gap in Breast Cancer Care. This timely event will spotlight the Access to Breast Cancer Diagnosis (ABCD) Act, which seeks to eliminate cost-sharing for diagnostic breast imaging and ensure patients can follow up on abnormal results without the fear of financial hardship.

SPEAKERS:

Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.), Member, House Energy & Commerce Committee & Co-Sponsor, ABCD Act
Ricki Fairley, CEO & Co-Founder, TOUCH: The Black Breast Cancer Alliance
Molly Guthrie, VP of Policy & Advocacy, Susan G. Komen
JoAnn Pushkin, Executive Director, DenseBreast-info Inc.
Katie Mazuk, Chief Patient Experience Officer, Novartis
