Abramson Cancer Center community outreach advocacy and policy initiatives

Efforts in advocacy and policy to lower cancer rates

Researchers at the Abramson Cancer Center are actively involved in various advocacy and policy initiatives aimed at reducing cancer incidence and mortality rates, both in the Abramson Cancer Center catchment area and across the nation. These efforts include advocating for tobacco-free spaces, restricting youth access to tobacco and vaping products, cancer screenings, biomarker testing and promoting equitable access to cancer clinical trials and lifesaving therapies. By collaborating with government and community partners, our researchers are leading impactful policy initiatives that address critical health challenges, such as asbestos exposure in schools, obesity, and environmental contamination—creating healthier communities for everyone.
