RESOLUTION
Expressing support for the designation of February 4, 2025, as
``National Cancer Prevention Day''.
Whereas National Cancer Prevention Day is a day to remind us that, when looking
at cancer, we need to look at prevention and reducing risks for human
health and the environment;
Whereas, when we work to prevent cancer risks, it impacts human health, the
environment, and the economy;
Whereas cancer is one of the leading causes of death around the world and has
touched the lives of nearly everyone, either directly or indirectly;
Whereas, in 2025, there will be an estimated 2,041,910 new cancer cases
diagnosed and 618,120 cancer deaths in the United States;
Whereas, in 2025, an estimated 9,550 children ages 0 to 14 will be diagnosed
with cancer, and 1,050 will die from it;
Whereas the Cancer Moonshot has been reignited to encourage all Americans,
companies, institutions, and organizations to work together to cut the
death rate from cancer by 50 percent over the next 25 years; and
Whereas February 4, 2025, would be an appropriate date to designate as
``National Cancer Prevention Day'': Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
(1) supports the designation of ``National Cancer
Prevention Day'';
(2) recognizes all efforts to raise the awareness for the
reduction of cancer risks; and
(3) recognizes the devastating effect cancer has on
families and wishes to expand knowledge, encourage early
detection, and work with friends in the medical and scientific
fields to put an end to this deadly disease.
