Even though U.S. breast and cervical cancer death rates have been declining for several decades, not all people have benefited equally from advances in prevention, early detection, and treatments. LGBTQ+ people are more likely to be uninsured, lack access to health care, and delay health care including critical screenings. The NBCCEDP (National Breast & Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program) provides timely access to breast and cervical cancer screening and diagnostic services to low-income, uninsured, and underinsured people in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, 6 U.S. territories, and 13 tribes.
