Bill overview
The SCREENS for Cancer Act of 2023 reauthorizes the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) for six years (2024-2028). The bill aims to improve access to cancer screenings for low-income, uninsured, and underserved populations, particularly women of color, who have been disproportionately affected by pandemic-related disruptions to screening services. It seeks to reduce disparities in cancer rates and deaths by expanding program services and increasing funding.
