## Summary

**Expand equitable breast and cervical cancer screening** by reauthorizing and refocusing the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program through 2030 to emphasize prevention, navigation, and earlier diagnosis. It would update program goals, add outreach and patient-navigation activities, set baseline funding, and require a GAO review of access and barriers. - Families and underserved women: Builds on a program that has served more than 6.4 million people and provided over 16.5 million screening exams. It focuses on low-income, uninsured, underinsured, geographically isolated, and Tribal populations to increase early diagnoses. - Public health programs and providers: Requires explicit support services including patient navigation, facilitation of access to screening facilities, and use of evidence-based strategies in health care settings to boost screening and ensure follow-up services. - Oversight and funding: Sets a baseline authorization of $235.0 million per year for fiscal years 2026 through 2030, shifts reporting to a first report covering two prior years and then every five years, and directs a GAO report by September 30, 2027 on eligible populations, trends, and barriers. *Authorizes $235.0 million annually for 2026–2030, increasing federal spending for the program.*
