The "SCREENS for Cancer Act of 2025" reauthorizes the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP), extending its funding through fiscal years 2026 to 2030. The bill allocates $235,000,000 for each of these fiscal years to support the program's vital services. Since its establishment in 1991, NBCCEDP has provided lifesaving cancer screening and diagnostic services to millions of low-income, uninsured, or underinsured women, with a particular focus on geographically or culturally isolated populations. This reauthorization expands the program's scope to include prevention efforts, enhance support activities such as patient navigation, and implement evidence-based strategies to increase screening rates. It specifically aims to reduce disparities in breast and cervical cancer incidents and deaths, while improving equitable access to screening and diagnostic services by addressing related barriers. Furthermore, the bill mandates a study by the Comptroller General by September 30, 2027, to assess the program's reach, trends in individuals served, and any barriers to accessing its crucial screenings.
