Cancer Screening Saves Lives
Some cancers can be found early, before they have had a chance to grow and spread. Getting screened is crucial to catching cancer early when it may be easier to treat. Together, alongside the American Cancer Society, Novartis is joining the NFL in its commitment to expand access to cancer screenings in under-resourced communities, reaching people where they are and when they need it most. Make your play and find your local cancer screening center.
