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 in women and in underserved groups. The review will look at the state of research, how to speed it up, how to improve access to preventive services like screening, and how to build stronger public awareness and education campaigns.

The review must cover what past studies have found, what’s being done now, and where the gaps are. It will look for ways agencies can work together, study possible environmental and genetic factors, and improve imaging tools for earlier and better diagnosis. It also calls for exploring a national lung cancer screening strategy to expand access, and a national public education campaign. A report to Congress is due within two years of the bill becoming law.

• Who is affected: Women and underserved people who meet current federal screening guidelines; federal health, defense, and veterans agencies working together on the review.
• What changes: A coordinated review to find gaps and speed up research, plans to improve access to screening, and a national education effort on early detection.
• When: The required report to Congress is due no later than two years after enactment.
