Our survey data in @JAMANetworkOpen shows cancer patients are more likely to enroll in #clinicaltrials if they can use remote technology to reduce in-person visits—more proof of the importance of #telehealth. Read more about the research: https://t.co/I1BedWI4oo

Herald Leader Editorial Board: Maybe, just maybe, Kentuckians and their lawmakers could be persuaded to do something about tobacco by the sheer magnitude of money their state loses every year in tobacco-related costs. https://t.co/2V0Es9EOLN

Thank you @DrTomTakubo for introducing cancer-fighting legislation this morning - SB635. Increasing tobacco taxes is one of the most effective ways to reduce smoking and save lives! @wvsenate

[Kristy Young @LeeAugust]

@KYSenateGOP help us fight cancer and save lives by increasing tobacco prevention & cessation funding. https://t.co/EjICkvjwDZ

ACS CAN & @AmericanCancer CEO Dr. Karen Knudsen and President Lisa Lacasse will proudly be representing our volunteers from across the nation and millions of cancer patient and survivors for @POTUS #CancerMoonshot announcement today at the White House.

[American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network @ACSCAN]

We are ready @POTUS to join you in this reignited #CancerMoonshot. Our work has already led to the cancer death rate for men and women combined falling 32% from its peak in 1991 to 2019 and we are excited to join your goal of a 50% decrease over the next 25 years.

“In KY 21.4% of adults smoke cigarettes & we know that people want to quit. So, if they don’t have adequate resources necessary how are they going to do that. We really need to focus on increasing $$, so that people who are ready to quit, can,” said @LeeAugust . @889WEKU #KYga22

[ACS CAN Kentucky @ACSCANKY]

“KY has the second highest adult smoking rate in the country. The GA has the opportunity to create a cleaner, safer, healthier KY by increasing tobacco prevention and cessation program funding to $10 million annually,” said

[Kristy Young @LeeAugust]

KY spends $1.92 billion dollars in healthcare costs related to smoking each year. We know that approx 70% of smokers want to quit. Shouldn’t we be investing in lifesaving programs to help people quit?

[Lisa Lacasse @LLacasseACSCAN]

New @ACSCAN survey examined common barriers to cancer biomarker testing, incl. coverage and cost concerns. To ensure patients fully benefit from advances in cancer care, we're working to expand coverage & educate lawmakers on this important innovation. https://t.co/46tFv9ILBQ
