Women and Lung Cancer Research and Preventive Services Act of 2025

This bill tells the Department of Health and Human Services to lead a government-wide review of lung cancer research and prevention, with help from the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs. It focuses on women and underserved groups who meet the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force guidelines for lung cancer screening. The goal is to map what research has been done, find gaps, and identify ways to speed progress and improve access to care.

The review will look for ways to: boost new research (including on environmental and genetic factors), improve imaging tools for better detection and treatment, create a national strategy to expand screening access, and launch a nationwide public education campaign about lung cancer and early detection. A report with findings and recommendations must be sent to Congress within two years of the law taking effect.

• Who is affected: Women and underserved communities eligible for lung cancer screening; patients, families, and providers; federal health agencies.
• What changes: A coordinated federal review to identify research gaps, expand screening access, improve detection tools, and plan a national awareness campaign.
• When: The report to Congress is due within two years after enactment.
