AI Summary
This bill, the Endometrial Cancer Research and Education Act of 2018, aims to expand research and education on endometrial cancer, which is the fourth most common cancer diagnosed in women. The bill directs the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to expand and coordinate programs to conduct and support research on endometrial cancer, and to communicate information about the disparity in diagnosis rates between African-American and non-Hispanic White women. Additionally, the bill requires the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to develop and disseminate public education materials on endometrial cancer, including its incidence rate, risk factors, and available treatments, particularly for ethnic minority women who have a higher risk of developing the disease.
