On February 3, 2026, Congress passed the most impactful cancer-fighting bill: protecting research funding and rejecting the 38% cuts that threatened to devastate cancer research.

 

When the Administration first proposed massive cuts to cancer research funding in the President’s Budget last February, we responded immediately, urging lawmakers to reject cuts and invest in cancer research. And when one final push was needed to get the Senate across the finish line, we showed up again, making phone calls, and taking to social media.

 

After 10 months of fighting, we won!  They heard us, and they did.   

 

Now, cancer patients will have access to more and better options for preventing, treating, and one day curing this disease.
