Statewide Iowa Cancer patients and cancer survivors in Iowa are being asked to take a survey about their experiences in hopes of improving the difficult process for everyone.
Jackie Cale, the Iowa grassroots manager of the American Cancer Society’s Cancer Action Network, says the “Survivor Views” survey should only take ten minutes to fill out online and it can be a tremendous outlet.
(As above) “Some of the questions vary, like have they had access to clinical trials? Have they ever felt that there was a barrier to their cancer care?” Cale says. “We go into some of the demographics, where do they live, race, ethnicity. We’re just trying to get an overall view.”

FLORIDA â The American Cancer Society s Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) has issued a statement opposing a bill in the Florida Legislature which would revise regulations on the sale of tobacco and nicotine products.
The Cancer Action Network says that Florida Senate Bill 1080 would repeal the right of local communities to restrict tobacco usage.
On April 16 SB 1080 was approved by the Senate Rules Committee by a vote of 11-5 vote.
âYears of continued inaction by the state to regulate tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, demands strong, local laws that protect our children from a lifetime of addiction,â reads the statement issued by the Cancer Action Network which urges Florida lawmakers to do the right thing and oppose SB 1080 and protect Floridaâs youth over tobacco industry profits.
