Women and Lung Cancer Research and Preventive Services Act of 2024
This bill mandates an interagency review by the Department of Health and Human Services (with Defense and Veterans Affairs) to address lung cancer disparities affecting women. It requires a report evaluating research gaps, improving access to lung cancer screening (especially for underserved groups), and developing public awareness campaigns about early detection. The review will focus on factors like environmental exposures, genomic differences, and treatment responses specific to women, particularly those who never smoked. The report must be submitted to Congress within one year of enactment. This directly affects women at risk of lung cancer, including those with non-smoking-related cases.
