This past week, I had the privilege of hosting my 16th annual Childhood Cancer Summit. I founded the Congressional Childhood Cancer Caucus in 2009 because I noticed kids with cancer didn't have a voice in Congress — and that had to change. The RACE (Research to Accelerate Cures and Equity) for Children Act allowed the most innovative adult treatments for cancer to be studied for use in children. Since we passed RACE, about 40 percent of all new cancer drugs are now being studied in children — a huge improvement. The STAR (Survivorship, Treatment, Access, and Research) Act, one of the most comprehensive childhood cancer bills ever to be signed into law, enhanced research on the late effects of childhood cancer so that doctors can better care for survivors.
