Requires a federal review to improve lung cancer care for women and specific groups.
This bill would require the Department of Health and Human Services to review and update federal programs for lung cancer. The goal is to improve research, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment for women and people with few known risk factors. It also aims to boost lung cancer screening rates for those who need it most.
Currently, there is no specific federal requirement for a comprehensive review and update of lung cancer programs focused on women and populations with few known risk factors. If this bill passes, the Department of Health and Human Services would lead an interagency review to identify knowledge gaps and improve health outcomes for these groups, aiming to boost screening rates. A report on these findings would be sent to Congress within two years.
