Colon Cancer Treatment Act

 

Provide Prostate/Colorectal Cancer Treatment under NJ Cancer Education and Early Detection (CEED) Program

Although the State Medicaid program provides treatment for women diagnosed with breast and cervical cancer under the CEED program, men diagnosed with prostate cancer, and patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer are not provided similar treatment.

The American Cancer Society (ACS) will push for legislation that will insure treatment for all those diagnosed under the CEED program.
