Enhancing Ben Cardin’s cancer-fighting legacy

In the battle against cancer, every victory counts, and Ben Cardin, Maryland’s Senior U.S. senator, is perhaps more familiar than anyone with these triumphs. Over his three decades on Capitol Hill, Sen. Cardin has been a tireless advocate for establishing and expanding access to cancer screenings. We know that prompt detection can make the difference between successful treatment and premature death — that’s why it is not an exaggeration to say that the senator’s legislative efforts over the years have saved countless lives, and why his latest effort holds the promise to save many more.
