The Massachusetts Society of Clinical Oncologists (MSCO) stands as a beacon of grassroots activism in our state, driven by a passion for oncology advocacy and community engagement. As the president of MSCO, it was an honor to champion our organization's values at the ACS CAN advocacy day held on March 14th at the state house. Our focus centered on advocating for crucial biomarker legislation, highlighting the importance of advancements in shaping public policy. Through our grassroots efforts, we strive to bridge the gap between science and society, ensuring that evidence-based decision-making remains at the forefront of legislative discussions. Representing MSCO in such pivotal moments reinforces our commitment to empowering our state through science and underscores the vital role grassroots organizations play in driving meaningful change. 

Kind regards
