The Final Countdown!

The countdown doesn't work if the event start date is set to TBD

Advancements in science and technology are helping identify breast cancer development risks earlier than ever, yet the cost of screening can still delay patient care. Expanding access to early assessment could improve health outcomes and avoid the higher costs associated with diagnosing and treating advanced disease.

Join Axios Live in Washington, D.C., for an event on what’s next for breast cancer detection and access to care as policymakers and health leaders shape the next health policy agenda. We’ll unpack bipartisan efforts to reduce out-of-pocket exam costs, close coverage gaps across states and health plans, and ensure access to screening keeps pace with advances in early detection.
