Armstrong, Bloomberg join forces in cancer fight

Three heavyweights in the nation's public health debate join forces to push cancer back into political arena.

Three heavyweights in the nation's public health debate — cyclist Lance Armstrong, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and former U.S. Surgeon General Richard Carmona — joined forces Friday to continue pushing cancer into the national political arena.

"In my opinion, whoever wants to be president of the United States of America ought to address the number one killer in this country," Armstrong said at a news conference at Brackenridge Hospital in Austin.

From left, cycling champion Lance Armstrong, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and former U.S. Surgeon General Richard Carmona rallied for a national cancer plan Friday in Austin.

Carmona, who met Armstrong on a bike ride, said he and other former surgeons general have agreed to outline a national call to action — a battle plan offering government officials the best available science in cancer prevention, screening, diagnosis and treatment.

The effort comes as Armstrong and Carmona sense that the battle against cancer has lost national momentum.

Each man brings his own perspective.

Armstrong, a seven-time winner of the Tour de France, spearheaded a voter-approved effort last year for the state to issue $3 billion in bonds for cancer research.

During the summer, Armstrong, a cancer survivor, also hosted a forum on cancer for presidential candidates, but not all the candidates showed up. He said Friday that another event is scheduled for July, probably after both major parties have chosen their nominees, at Ohio State University.

Carmona, who was President Bush's surgeon general for four years, has testified to Congress that White House officials muzzled him on a range of topics, including sex education and stem cells. He told Congress that the administration delayed and then "watered-down" a report that concluded that even a brief exposure to secondhand smoke could cause immediate harm.

On Friday, Carmona praised Bloomberg for taking the political risk to outlaw indoor smoking in almost all establishments and ban trans fat in restaurants in New York.

"Few political leaders stepped forward," Carmona said. "This one did."

Bloomberg said the smoking ban became more popular after it went into effect. He said enforcement efforts also helped reduce smoking among the city's high-schoolers 52 percent.

Armstrong and Carmona said they hoped more officials would join the anti-cancer effort.

As for presidential candidates, Carmona said, "We're tired of platitudes and the nebulous answers. Tell us what your plan is."
