Highlights from today’s ACSCAN Massachusetts #ResearchBreakfast - we are thrilled to be a sponsor of this year’s event. We look forward to future advocacy with the ACS and helping spread the word about the importance of biomedical science, cancer research, biomarker testing, and more!

We're kicked off today with our biomarkers panel this morning! First speaker is State Senator Susan Moran, our incredible Senate sponsor of the bill. Thanks for your advocacy to expand access to #biomarkertesting in MA.

Next up is our amazing House Sponsor Meg Kilcoyne of the bill to expand access to #biomarkertesting in MA. Thank you for all of your advocacy on behalf of cancer patients!

Our first patient speaker is Jung A Han, diagnosed with stage 3 metastatic non-small cell lung cancer in 2022. Because of access to #biomarkertesting, she was able to receive an oral chemotherapy pill targeting her specific mutation. #accesstocare

Our second panelist is cancer survivor Maggie Buswick, diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer at the young age of 13. Because of #biomarkertesting, she received an effective treatment for her diagnosis. She was fortunate to have insurance that covered the cost of the testing.

Our third panelist this morning is Josh Herting, diagnosed with colon cancer at the age of 34. With access to #biomarkertesting, he received the necessary treatment and remains cancer-free 10 years later. That's why we're working to make sure everyone has access in MA.

A busy day at the State House, but I’ll always make time for my friends at ACSCAN Massachusetts. Meg Kilcoyne and countless advocates have put in the work to push for access to #biomarker testing with S.689! The need exists. The technology exists. The only gap that exists is coverage.

Yesterday, alongside Alzheimers Association, MA/NH Chapter, we visited over 200 offices to urge our legislators to pass An Act relative to patient access to biomarker testing. We are excited about the potential to get this bill over the finish line! #biomarkertesting
