The Susan G. Komen for the Cure® Advocacy Alliance takes a stand on issues of importance to cancer survivors, advocates, and others involved in the movement. Primarily our positions relate to breast cancer research, early detection, and access to high-quality care. From time to time, we may also comment on other health-related topics and sign onto letters other organizations have published, which we feel have may have an impact on the breast cancer community.
Research To find a cure for breast cancer, we must increase the Nation’s commitment to science and research. This section includes information on where we stand on important governmental research programs.
Early Detection At this time, there is no known cure for breast cancer. But helping women access early detection through affordable, high-quality mammography is essential to surviving the disease. View our positions on governmental programs that address early detection and screening.
Access to High-Quality Care Breast cancer knows no bounds, so why should access to quality care be limited? The Komen Advocacy Alliance works with policymakers to ensure patient access to high-quality care for all patients, not just those who can afford it. This section includes our positions on this subject.
