Bill > S699

This bill, the Women and Lung Cancer Research and Preventive Services Act of 2021, aims to address the disparate impact of lung cancer on women, particularly those who have never smoked. The key provisions include: conducting an interagency review to evaluate the status of research on women and lung cancer, access to lung cancer preventive services, and public awareness campaigns; identifying opportunities for collaborative, innovative research to address knowledge gaps; developing a national lung cancer screening strategy to expand access, especially among underserved populations; and creating a national public education campaign on the importance of early detection of lung cancer in women.
