A resolution designating November 2023 as "National Lung Cancer Awareness Month" and expressing support for early detection and treatment of lung cancer.
This Senate resolution designates November 2023 as National Lung Cancer Awareness Month, with additional designations for National Women’s Lung Cancer Awareness Week (first week of November) and National Lung Cancer Screening Day (second Saturday of November). It expresses support for increasing public awareness, education, and research on lung cancer prevention, early detection through screening, and treatment - particularly addressing disparities in diagnosis and access for high-risk groups like non-smokers and veterans. The resolution encourages the public to participate in awareness activities but does not create new laws or allocate funding.
