#MCED screening detects cancer early, leading to earlier treatment options and better outcomes. We are glad to stand alongside so many patient advocates in South Dakota advancing efforts to increase cancer screenings.
Multi-Cancer Early Detection is a slam dunk🏀for Medicare enrollees in SD by helping screen for cancer at earlier stages. The #MCED Screening Coverage Act is so close to passage. @SenJohnThune, please help make this landmark legislation a reality, and get it over the finish line.
