S 2245 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Women and Lung Cancer Research and Preventive Services Act of 2023

This bill requires federal health agencies to conduct an interagency review focused on accelerating research into lung cancer's disproportionate impact on women (particularly never-smokers), improving access to lung cancer screening services, and developing public awareness campaigns. The review, led by the HHS Secretary with Defense and VA collaboration, must identify research gaps, collaborative strategies, and infrastructure needs for screening expansion. It mandates a report to Congress within one year of enactment detailing findings and recommendations. The bill directly affects women's health outcomes by targeting systemic improvements in lung cancer prevention and early detection.
