Presidential candidates from both parties were invited to two forums in late August to talk to cancer advocates, patients, and survivors about what they would do to advance cancer research and improve access to treatment and prevention programs if elected.

Komen Foundation, including Republicans Sam Brownback, Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, and Tommy Thompson, and Democrats Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, Dennis Kucinich, and Bill Richardson.
