House would officially support more lung cancer awareness and screening efforts
This bill would have the House of Representatives formally support designating November 2025 as "National Lung Cancer Awareness Month." It would also back efforts to increase public education, awareness, and research about lung cancer, including screening and treatment. The goal is to help more people understand lung cancer risks and the importance of early detection.
Today, lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death, yet only 16 percent of high-risk individuals get screened, partly due to a lack of awareness and stigma. If this bill passes, the House of Representatives would formally support designating November 2025 as "National Lung Cancer Awareness Month." It would also back a "National Women's Lung Cancer Awareness Week" and a "National Lung Cancer Screening Day." This would lead to the House promoting and encouraging efforts to increase public awareness, education, and research on lung cancer, its risks, screening, and treatment.
