Bill > HR2319

This bill directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to conduct a comprehensive interagency review focused on lung cancer research, prevention, and awareness, specifically targeting women and underserved populations. The review will evaluate existing research on lung cancer, identify knowledge gaps, and explore opportunities for collaborative and innovative research approaches. Key areas of focus include examining environmental and genomic factors related to lung cancer in women, developing strategies to improve lung cancer screening access, and creating national public education campaigns about lung cancer detection. The review will involve consultation with the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs and will require a detailed report to Congress within two years of the bill's enactment. The bill aims to accelerate research, improve preventive services, and increase public awareness about lung cancer, with a particular emphasis on populations that have been historically underserved or less studied in medical research.
