The details
Most people would see no change in daily life. The Senate passed this resolution in January 2026. It names November 2025 as National Lung Cancer Awareness Month. It also names the first week of that month National Women's Lung Cancer Awareness Week. The second Saturday becomes National Lung Cancer Screening Day. It does not change any law or spend any money. The resolution lists facts about lung cancer. It kills more people in the U.S. than any other cancer. About 124,730 people were expected to die from it in 2025. Only 16 percent of people at high risk get screened. Veterans are 25 percent more likely to get it. Yet fewer than 3 percent of veterans who qualify get screened. The Senate backs more awareness, teaching, and research on risk factors, screening, and treatment. It also backs work on lung cancer in minority groups and in people who never smoked.
