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

HRES 897 is a symbolic resolution expressing congressional support for November National Lung Cancer Awareness Month. It promotes public education about lung cancer, early detection methods, and increased screening access for high-risk individuals, including those with risk factors like family history or secondhand smoke exposure. The resolution highlights statistics on lung cancer's impact (e.g., it being the leading cause of cancer deaths) but does not create new laws, allocate funding, or mandate policy changes. It serves as a statement of support for awareness and screening efforts without altering existing healthcare programs.
