Bill > HR1022

This resolution designates the second week in May as Lung Cancer Action Week in Oklahoma, recognizing the critical importance of lung cancer awareness and prevention. The resolution highlights several key points, including the American Lung Association's LUNG FORCE initiative's efforts to reduce lung cancer diagnoses and improve outcomes for those living with the disease. It emphasizes that lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths and notes that in Oklahoma, only 9% of high-risk individuals receive lung cancer screenings. The resolution aims to encourage Oklahoma residents to learn more about lung cancer risk factors and early detection methods, and to support research funding that could lead to new treatments and improved screening techniques. By officially recognizing Lung Cancer Action Week, the resolution seeks to raise public awareness about the importance of lung cancer screening, research, and prevention strategies.
