President Active in the Fight Against Cancer

Many people may not know, but President Obama spent his career prior to President as a U.S. Senator fighting to improve prevention and treatment of cancer. He passed laws to mandate insurance coverage of colerectal cancer examinations, ensure Medicaid coverage for treatment of breast and cervical cancers, promote early detection of prostate and testicular cancers, and helped create the Illinois Task Force on Cervical Cancer Elimination. As United States Senator, he has fought for increased funding for cancer research, and championed genomics and personalized medicine to identify new and better treatments for cancer and other diseases. As president, Barack Obama will build upon his career-long efforts and launch a new campaign to combat cancer and provide greater lifetime support to cancer survivors and their families.
The United States continues to spend money on cancer research, and there are several techniques and tecnologies available to do so. An example, to acquire a mesothelioma diagnosis must be done in a rapid basis, because mesothelioma spreads quickly and requires early treatment for successful containment and eratification.
The President as a Senator did his part, now it is up to the people to become aware of these types of diseases with frequent medical checkups. At least you know that even our President as prior Senator of Illinois made a formal effort to stop cancer, and now as our President, we should be mindful of his actions in his continued campaign to fight cancer.
