Debra Patt, President of the Community Oncology Alliance, Executive Vice President Policy and Strategy at Texas Oncology, Chair of AI Task Force at ASCO, shared on LinkedIn:
“Early detection of cancer saves lives.
- Breast cancer screening
- mammograms
- timely follow-up
gives patients the best chance for less intensive treatment and better outcomes. That’s why community-wide screening campaigns matter: they remove barriers, raise awareness, and connect people to care before cancer progresses.
Proud to see Texas Oncology partnering with the American Cancer Society on a dedicated screening campaign.
By combining Texas Oncology’s clinical reach and expertise with the American Cancer Society’s education, navigation, and access programs, this partnership can:
- Expand screening access in underserved communities
- Speed up referrals and diagnostic follow-up
- Provide patient navigation and financial support when needed
- Amplify culturally appropriate education to improve screening uptake
If you’re eligible for breast cancer screening or have questions about when to start, speak with your provider – and help spread the word.
Share this post to support timely screening and the lifesaving work being done by Texas Oncology and the American Cancer Society.”
