SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) In 2025, there will be more than 319,750 
new cases of invasive breast cancer and nearly 
43,000 breast cancer deaths in the United States. 
(2) In 2025, there will be about 13,360 new 
cases of invasive cervical cancer and about 4,320 
deaths from cervical cancer. 
(3) Since its creation in 1991, the National 
Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Pro-
gram 
(referred 
to 
in 
this 
section 
as 
the 
‘‘NBCCEDP’’) 
has 
provided 
lifesaving 
cancer 
screening and diagnostic services to low-income, un-
insured, or underinsured women in all 50 States, the 
District of Columbia, 6 territories, and 13 Tribes or 
Tribal organizations. 
(4) NBCCEDP places special emphasis on out-
reach to women who are geographically or culturally 
isolated. 
(5) 
NBCCEDP 
has 
served 
more 
than 
6,400,000 
people 
and 
provided 
more 
than 
16,500,000 breast and cervical cancer screening ex-
aminations. 
(6) These screening exams have diagnosed 
nearly 80,000 invasive breast cancers and more than 
25,000 premalignant breast lesions, as well as al-

most 5,300 invasive cervical cancers and over 
248,000 premalignant cervical lesions, of which 38 
percent were high-grade. 
(7) The program also provides public education, 
outreach, patient navigation, and care coordination 
to increase breast and cervical cancer screening 
rates. 
(8) Reauthorizing NBCCEDP will result in ex-
panded services, leading to more people being 
screened and more cancers diagnosed at earlier 
stages.
