Cathy,
The Louisiana Tumor
Registry (LTR) is at risk.
As one of the nation’s leading population-based cancer
registries, the LTR is tasked with collecting data on cancer cases in Louisiana
that helps our state implement effective prevention programs.
With a special legislative session ahead, funding for the
LTR could be on the chopping block.
Cuts to the LTR would mean that Louisiana would no longer
receive adequate federal funds to provide Louisiana citizens, health
professionals and policy makers the information needed to help reduce the
state’s cancer burden.
Over the next two weeks, ACS CAN will
be working with our lawmakers to help ensure that vital funding for the LTR is
sustained.
We’re going to need your help! So stay tuned for opportunities to
take action – and in the meantime, you can find the latest updates on our Facebook
page and our Louisiana ACS CAN Website.
Sincerely,
Alice Williams
LA Grassroots Manager
