We advocate for evidence-based public policies to reduce the cancer burden for everyone. We engage our volunteers across the country to make their voices heard by policymakers at every level of government. We believe everyone should have a fair and just opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.
Since 2001, as the American Cancer Society’s nonprofit, nonpartisan advocacy affiliate, ACS CAN has successfully advocated for billions of dollars in cancer research funding, expanded access to quality affordable health care, and advanced proven tobacco control measures.
We stand with our volunteers-people whose lives have been impacted by cancer-rallying to demand change. Together, we’re working to make cancer a top priority for public officials and candidates at the federal, state, and local levels. By engaging advocates across the country to make their voices heard, ACS CAN influences legislative and regulatory solutions that will end cancer as we know it, for everyone.

I live in the state of Georgia where we have one of the highest uninsured populations in the nation. Our Governor spoke at an event in Florida last week where he stated he would not be expanding Medicaid during his tenure. This is infuriating.
What an awesome story! Bio Marker Testing made a difference. A test that was able to come up with a tailored made treatment that was not only effective, but successful in making a difference in his quality of life. There are many who would benefit from this. I myself had Bio Marker Testing done, 6 years cancer free. I'm doing great. This testing should be included with anyone diagnosed with cancer. Keep striving Ethan.
Wow
God bless you
Thank you for your story Keith ❤ I pray that you live a long, happy & healthy life. May you see your children grow-up, & your grandchildren as well ! I hope that soon biomarker therapy is covered by insurance, so it available to everybody. It would be such a blessing, to so many people.
Keep Fighting the good fight, Keith! You Got this. 🙏🏽💪🏽
God Bless you. Keep faith and prayers all over you. Love D
My prayers are with you Keith and for all of us going through a similar situation. 🙏
Congratulations on surviving rectal cancer!! I had skin cancer in 2015, melanoma. No further lesions!!! We are fighters!!!
Yay Hyacinth!!! 🙌
Fabulous video -- and wonderful story Fahmy!! I look forward to working with you as ACS CAN CT presents the stories, the data (targeted therapies and cost saving to the patient and the health insurers.
And cigarette companies target white people with full flavor cigarettes. (Marlboro, Winston, ect.) Why? Money money, money! They don't care about race, just profits.
This is a terrible video because you didn't explain the criteria which disqualified them. I have been overseas for years and I have no idea why there's a gap from this video.
I see my friend Miguel in this video!! Congratulations Miguel!😃
❤❤❤❤❤❤that’s rite Cesar…🎉🎉
Thank you for sharing Lisa! This is amazing!
Thank you Lisa for sharing your story! My hope is that more cancer patients will be able to access Biomarker testing.
Great job California!!
there is no way. everyone should know better than this. cancer is now number two killer. they have failed. FAILED. be well.
Ohh you mean Obama Care isn't working?
We don't need to expand medicaid. Shut up!
Thank you, Karen. Your video is helpful. I continue to tell my family doctor that yes, my triple negative breast cancer can reappear. His comments continue to be no, you've had your mastectomies so there is not a chance it can reappear. It's been 10 years since my breast cancer. Is he right?

Such an incredibly inspiring story. God bless you Giovanna. Thank you for being an advocate and paying forward your blessings of finding the treatment that put you into remission and restored your quality of life! Yes, this is your story and those who love you who stood by you. Hugs to all. You will always be your mom and dad's baby...no matter how far out you get from 8! You are making them proud, as you always have.

This is a master class in everything you don't do when making an advertisement. It's just designed to have you glaze over and not pay attention for 45 seconds. It's impressively bad. I kinda think the court should have let their detractors make the ad
I agree that this is ridiculously bad for any other company on the planet, but it actually works against the cigarette companies here. By making an ad that violates all of the rules standard in other ads (it's not flashy, no music, no colors, etc. etc.) it makes it stand out even more. I first saw this live in 2017 and with no idea what it was, and it definitely caught my attention, because it was so unlike every other ad out there.
@peaceonearth347 It's different yes. >it makes it stand out even more. I disagree. There's a billion dollar industry on knowing human psychology enough to know what stands out. If being different was enough to stand out. We'd have commercials going back to black and white every 5 years just to be different from all the live action color. It's like saying "Oh these three birds are all brilliantly colored to stand out but you know what you really notice? The camouflage bird in the corner that does everything those birds don't with it's blending colors and quite voice". Yes you're going to notice that when presented one bird is different from the others but that's different from being memorable. A commercial's job is to convey something: Information, A feeling, a motto, ideally something positive that you associate with the brand. This commercial conveys nothing. I remember thinking I've never seen a commercial so boring I almost fell asleep in 45 seconds before. I definitely noticed it but I get nothing OUT of the commercial. I don't associate it with any brand, I can barely remember the information and there's no tone or feeling. Everything about this commercial is forgettable and I knew what it was the instant I saw it airing. I was shocked it actually made it out. The settlement was like years before iirc. However, the reason commercials have jingles as one example is because jingles work. People remember them. Making a commercial without jingles is different but just because it's different doesn't make it stick in your head. You can't even describe this commercial. The text doesn't stand out, the voice doesn't stand out. And an hour later there's nothing about the commercial that can pop into your head and remind you of the commercial. I remember the settlement but I never remember the commercial and every time I think oh it couldn't have been that bad .. but it is. I mean even the robotic voice it's carefully calibrated. If it was fully robot you would remember it more. If it was an actor doing a voice over you'd remember it instead they really strike the middle as hard as possible. It's not a person so it doesn't accidentally emphasize something and make you remember. The cadence is just forward with no pick up or slowdown yet pleasant enough to be background audio like your voice assistant telling you the garage down is closed. They got exactly what they wanted from this commercial. The legally required minimum which is a shame. Even with restrictions on the use of brand assets their opposition could have made a commercial that told the truth in a way that resonated.
I actually believe it's the opposite. The minimalistic presentation and soulless deadpan delivery of these admissions make the ad disturbing and frankly memorable as it breaks convention.
Video was compromised by another voice over from an Ad? I did get the gest of this video.

Yeah! Let's do some good!
Why don't you stop wasting million$ fight vaping! E-cigs contain no tobacco and produce none of the harmful smoke! 95% safer than smoking ans have helped bring the smoking level for teens and adults to an all time low!
Blood suckers! When will you promote vaping to all smokers like the UK has been doing for years?!?!?
It would be the same as every time you get gas you have to read a peace of paper that says gas powered cars are bad for the environment every one allready knows it but its right there so you throw it away and they print more increasing cost of gas thats what they are doing
Every pack says they can cause cancer and there addictive to begin with its on the sergions general warning making the cigarette companies do this is bs it just adds more to thee production line and increases prices
Love it hahahhahahaaha they just gotta run these ads and say they endorse em. Like theyre 3rd graders and the government is the teacher
