Women and Lung Cancer Research and Preventive Services Act of 2025

# Women and Lung Cancer Research and Preventive Services Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would increase federal funding and support for research into lung cancer in women and expand access to preventive screening services. The legislation aims to better understand why lung cancer affects women differently than men and to improve early detection through expanded screening programs. It would likely authorize funding for studies on women-specific risk factors, improve access to diagnostic testing, and potentially cover preventive screening services under federal health programs. **Who It Affects** The bill primarily targets women at risk for or diagnosed with lung cancer, researchers studying cancer and respiratory health, and healthcare providers.

It could also affect the general public through federally funded health initiatives and preventive care programs, potentially lowering overall healthcare costs through earlier detection. **Current Status** As of now, HR 2319 remains in committee, meaning it has not yet advanced to a full vote in the House of Representatives. The bill was introduced by Representative Brendan Boyle (D-PA) and is still in the early stages of the legislative process. No action has been taken to move it forward for consideration.
