Childhood Cancer STAR Act
In 2018, National Brain Tumor Society had the privilege and opportunity to directly contribute to the formation of the bill and, as a member and co-chair of the policy committee of the Alliance for Childhood Cancer, to help champion its passage.
The Childhood Cancer STAR Act is the most comprehensive childhood cancer legislation taken up by Congress in decades. This bipartisan bill is designed to advance pediatric cancer research and child-focused cancer treatments, while also improving childhood cancer surveillance, as well as providing enhanced resources for survivors and those impacted by kids’ cancers.
Members of the Senate and House introduced a bipartisan bill to reauthorize the STAR Act beyond its set expiration in 2023 and extend these important programs. This Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, help urge your local representatives to support this key piece of legislation through our action alert.
