Legislation sponsored by local State Rep. Norine Hammond (R-Macomb) to expand the scope of ovarian cancer screenings has passed the Illinois House.
House Bill 4203 provides that “surveillance tests for ovarian cancer” means all medically viable methods for the detection and diagnosis of ovarian cancer, including, but not limited to, ultrasounds, MRIs, x-rays, CT scans, and CA-125 blood test screenings.
The bill was approved in the House on a vote of 109-0 and now heads to the Senate for consideration.
