Bill > SR1001

This resolution designates November 2026 as Lung Cancer Awareness Month in Arizona, recognizing that lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States, affecting both men and women, and that early detection through screening, particularly low-dose computed tomography (CT) for high-risk individuals, can significantly reduce mortality. The resolution highlights the increasing incidence of lung cancer in women and among never-smokers, as well as documented disparities in screening, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes. By supporting the goals of National Lung Cancer Awareness Month, the resolution aims to promote increased awareness, education, and research regarding smoking cessation, screening, diagnosis, and treatment of lung cancer, with a particular focus on women, never-smokers, and health disparities, encouraging the people of Arizona to participate in appropriate awareness and educational activities.
