The House just voted YES on the spending bill! Grateful to lawmakers for advancing a powerful package that supports #CancerResearch and prevention through funding for @NIH, @theNCI + more, and #EarlyDetection through the #MCEDAct. The bill now goes to the Senate for a vote.

BREAKING NEWS: Colorectal cancer is now the leading cause of cancer death for people under 50, according to new data released by the American Cancer Society (@AmericanCancer). This trend is alarming—and it demands action. Congress must prioritize #ColorectalCancer research so we can understand why this is happening and stop it. Join us in Washington, D.C., March 1–3 for Call-on Congress 2026 and make sure lawmakers hear directly from the people most impacted. fightcolorectalcancer.org/event/call-on-… @JAMANetwork @JAMANetworkOpen #ColonCancer #RectalCancer #Cancer #BreakingNews #PrioritizeCRC

If you’re facing chemotherapy for lung cancer, your care team might suggest a chemo port to help make treatment easier and more comfortable. Learn more here: my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatme… What it is: A chemo port is a small device placed under the skin (often in the upper chest) and connected by a thin tube to a large vein. It lets healthcare providers deliver chemo drugs and draw blood without repeated needle sticks into your veins. Why it’s helpful: • Fewer needle pokes: No need to find veins every visit — helpful if your veins are fragile. • More comfort: Infusions and blood draws can be easier and less painful. • Long-term use: Ports can stay in place for months or even years while you’re getting treatment.
