Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

2026-04-20

This resolution designates April as a national month to raise awareness about cancer prevention and early detection, encouraging Americans to learn about healthy habits and screening options that can catch cancer earlier when treatment is often more effective. The measure aims to highlight the importance of preventive health practices and encourage people to talk with their doctors about cancer risk factors and screening recommendations. No new laws or funding are created; instead, it's a symbolic declaration meant to focus public attention on cancer awareness during that month.
