A new bipartisan Congressional Member Organization will address the growing epidemic of skin cancer among Americans. Led by representatives Jim Cooper (D-TN-5th), Carolyn Maloney (D-NY-12th), Peter Roskam (R-IL-6th), and Charlie Dent (R-PA-15th), the caucus will support legislative activities and promote public policies that raise awareness about skin cancer, foster effective skin cancer prevention outreach and education, increase screening and early detection of skin cancer, and improve access to skin cancer care and treatment. "Members of Congress, doctors and skin cancer advocates must work together to halt the significant increase in skin cancer cases," said Rep. Cooper. "I'm looking forward to collaborating with colleagues on both sides of the aisle so that Americans have the information they need to prevent, detect and treat skin cancers." The caucus was established through a collaborative effort led by Rep. Cooper and the American College of Mohs Surgery (ACMS), with support from the American Academy of Dermatology Association (AADA).
