Meet the MCED Experts
Multi-cancer early detection (MCED) tests utilize advances in genomic science and machine learning to transform cancer detection. Congress is deliberating a bill on MCED tests that could eventually provide millions of seniors with access to these tests—but time is running out for the 118th Congress to pass this critical measure.
The Prevent Cancer Foundation is leading more than 500 organizations in advocating for Congress to pass this critical legislation.
To arrange an interview with one of these experts, or for more information on MCED, please contact Lisa Berry Edwards at Lisa.Edwards@preventcancer.org.
