The Urgent Need for Expanded Cancer Screening.

ABSTRACT

On October 20, 2021, I had the privilege of testifying before the House Energy and Commerce Committee, Subcommittee on Health Hearing on Enhancing Public Health Legislation to Protect Children and Families. This commentary is based on the written testimony I provided to the Subcommittee on issues related to cancer screening and early detection. It highlights the research progress, updated guidelines, and new challenges in this field, emphasizing the importance of screening asymptomatic, at-risk population to detect precancerous lesions or cancer at an early stage.
