HRES 1500 United States House · 117th Congress

Expressing support for the goals of November National Lung Cancer Awareness Month and for the early detection and treatment of lung cancer.

HRES 1500 is a non-binding resolution expressing congressional support for November National Lung Cancer Awareness Month and promoting early detection and treatment of lung cancer. It highlights key issues like lung cancer being the leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S., disparities in screening access (especially for Black men and never-smokers), and low screening rates (only 4.5% of at-risk individuals screened annually). The resolution encourages public awareness, education about lung cancer risks, and increased access to screening for high-risk groups. It does not create new laws or allocate funding but urges educational efforts and research to improve early detection outcomes.
