lung cancer awareness month

This Senate resolution designates November 2024 as Lung Cancer Awareness Month in Arizona to highlight the disease's severity and impact on the state's residents. The bill formally supports national goals to increase public and medical knowledge about lung cancer screening, diagnosis, treatment, and smoking cessation. It specifically calls attention to the rising risk for women and lung cancer cases in people who have never smoked, as well as existing disparities in care. By encouraging educational activities, the measure aims to promote early detection and better health outcomes without mandating specific funding or policy changes.
