Extends cancer screening program for low-income women, adding $235 million yearly for prevention and equitable access.
The SCREENS for Cancer Act of 2025 would continue and improve a program that provides breast and cervical cancer screenings for low-income, uninsured, or underinsured women. It would set aside $235 million each year from 2026 to 2030 to pay for these services. The bill also aims to prevent cancer, reduce health disparities, and make it easier for people to get screened.
Today, the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program's funding authorization ended in the government's budget year 2011, and its main focus is detection and control. If this bill passes, the program would be reauthorized through 2030, with $235 million set aside annually for fiscal years 2026-2030. Its mission would expand to include prevention, reducing disparities, and improving equitable access to screenings.
