YourVoice.Now Summary
Lung cancer kills more women than breast, ovarian, and uterine cancers combined, yet research specifically focused on lung cancer in women and underserved communities has lagged behind. This bill directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services — working with the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs — to conduct a comprehensive review of the current state of that research, identify gaps, and explore better screening strategies and public education campaigns. A report to Congress would be due within two years.
Congressional Summary
