S 2745 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Federal Firefighter Cancer Detection and Prevention Act of 2025

This bill requires the Department of Defense to provide annual cancer screenings at no cost to its firefighters, focusing on cancers more common among firefighters. It mandates specific screenings: mammograms for female firefighters (twice yearly for 40-49, annually for 50+), colon cancer exams starting at age 45, and prostate screenings for male firefighters (annually for 50+ or high-risk individuals). The screenings must be reviewed by licensed professionals, and the DoD must track participation and cancer trends while sharing anonymized data with the CDC for research. Firefighters may opt out of any screening.
