Right now, we’re watching a catastrophic unraveling of decades of progress in cancer research, drug development, and survivorship care. Federal health agencies are being gutted, funding is vanishing, and the very people who’ve spent their lives fighting for patients are being pushed out. This isn’t just another political shift. It’s a direct attack on cancer patients, survivors, and the future of medical innovation. Matthew Zachary breaks it all down in his latest article—calling out the silence, the inaction, and what must happen next. This is corporate thought leadership with teeth—because in advocacy, silence equals complicity. Read the full piece and join the conversation. The time to fight is now. https://lnkd.in/eJ6e6jXX
