The Rhode Island General Assembly has introduced a resolution designating May 5-11, 2025, as "Lung Cancer Action Week" in the state. This initiative is part of the American Lung Association's LUNG FORCE program, which aims to reduce lung cancer diagnoses and improve the lives of those affected by the disease. The resolution emphasizes the importance of lung cancer screening, advocacy, and public support for research funding to enhance early detection and treatment options. The Senate encourages all Rhode Islanders to educate themselves about lung cancer, its risk factors, and the significance of early detection during this designated week. Additionally, the resolution mandates that a certified copy be sent to the American Lung Association to support their ongoing efforts in combating lung cancer. The resolution was introduced by Senator Victoria Gu on May 7 and is recommended for immediate consideration.
