Congress had the opportunity to pass the most influential childhood cancer legislation in a decade – but instead, it cut out five critical bipartisan policies that would have benefited childhood cancer patients and their families. Together, these policies would have addressed some of the most pressing needs for children with cancer and their families: funding vital research programs, reducing bureaucratic delays to improve access to specialty care and clinical trials, and ensuring children with untreatable cancer have access to new life-saving cures.

But we’re not giving up. Join us and our advocacy partners in the cancer community in urging the 119th Congress to prioritize children with cancer in the new session. Children with cancer have waited long enough – it’s time to finish the job. We're asking Congress to include these five pieces of legislation - which the House unanimously passed in the 188th Congress - as part of the next health extenders package.
