## Summary

**Improving early cancer detection** is the focus of this resolution, which would designate April as Cancer Prevention and Early Detection Month and urge a national commitment to prevention, timely screening, and broader access to diagnostic services. It cites over 2,000,000 cancer diagnoses in 2025 and research that up to 50 percent of cases and about 50 percent of deaths are preventable, and it calls for routine screenings, risk-based monitoring, vaccinations, lifestyle prevention, federal investment, and collaboration to close screening gaps that hit medically underserved people and those under 50.
