Federal agencies would review lung cancer research and care for women and underserved groups.
Federal agencies would review lung cancer research and care for women and underserved groups. This bill would require the Department of Health and Human Services, working with the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs, to study current lung cancer research, prevention services, and public awareness campaigns for these populations. The goal is to find ways to speed up research, expand access to screenings, and create better education campaigns.
Today, there's no required government-wide review focused on lung cancer research, prevention, and awareness specifically for women and underserved groups. If this bill passes, the Department of Health and Human Services, working with the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs, would be required to conduct such a review. This review would look for ways to improve research, expand access to screenings, and create public education campaigns for these populations, with a report due to Congress within two years.
