The Endometrial Cancer Research and Education Act of 2020 to expand federal research on endometrial cancer and to increase awareness among patients and health care providers was introduced by Representative David Scott, Democrat from Georgia (above).
The Endometrial Cancer Research and Education Act would authorize $500,000 annually from fiscal years 2021 through 2023 to support research at the National Institute of Health (NIH) on endometrial cancer. This bill would also create an Endometrial Cancer Public Education Program at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) work to create the Endometrial Cancer Public Education Program to provide up-to-date information healthcare providers about risk factors and available treatments for endometrial cancer.
“Too many women across the country have been affected by this condition, which is treatable if detected early,” said Congressman Scott. “The Endometrial Cancer Research and Education Act will provide more women and families with access to high-quality care and preventative screenings from informed health care providers. Highlighting this important women’s health issue and ensuring that patients and providers learn more about risk factors for endometrial cancer will remain top priorities.”
