The CDC cuts will result in the abolishment of the:

• National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) - provides breast and cervical cancer screening for low-income women or those with inadequate or no health insurance
• Colorectal Cancer Control Program - focused on increasing colorectal cancer screening rates for people aged 45 to 75. Colorectal cancer is a leading cause of cancer death in the U.S.
• National Program of Cancer Registries - collects data on cancer incidence and mortality rates per state and per cancer type
• National Comprehensive Cancer Control Program - supports state cancer control programs and grant programs aimed at improving access to screening and early detection, reducing cancer risk factors, and addressing the needs of cancer survivors. It also administers grant programs aimed at educating healthcare providers about hereditary cancers. 
• Funding for national and community-based organizations that provide programs and services related to cancer prevention, detection, genetics and survivorship. FORCE and other patient advocacy organizations are recipients of these grants. 

Elimination of these critical programs will undermine America’s progress in the fight against cancer and is at odds with efforts to Make America Healthy Again. Ending the CDC’s cancer prevention and control efforts will reduce screening and early detection, slow risk reduction and survivorship care improvement work, and undermine vital data collection efforts that inform U.S. cancer prevention, care, and research initiatives.
