    When Jill was diagnosed with cancer, doctors gave her 6-12 months to live. They told her the best they could do was keep her alive until a new treatment came along. Luckily, Jill got the treatment she needed through #ClinicalTrials, and she’s still here nine years later.

    ACS CAN and 128 organizations submitted a letter urging HHS to remove financial barriers in #ClinicalTrial participation. These changes would benefit patients in remote and rural communities who are disproportionately underrepresented in clinical research.

    Today, @FDATobacco authorized 11 new flavored nicotine pouches, continuing to compromise the fight against cancer and threatening to sustain youth nicotine use. Chill, mint, and wintergreen are among the flavors. Once again, the FDA is putting profits over public health.

    The @FDATobacco just authorized four new flavored nicotine pouches, compromising the fight against cancer & threatening to sustain youth nicotine use. In the U.S., one-third of all cancer deaths are a result of tobacco use, and tobacco is the leading cause of preventable death.
