; Whereas screening individuals at high risk of lung cancer using low-dose computed tomography can detect lung cancer earlier than other forms of screening and ultimately save lives; Whereas veterans are 25 percent more likely to develop lung cancer than the general public and, while over 1,000,000 veterans are eligible for lung cancer screening, less than 3 percent undergo lung cancer screening by low-dose computed tomography; Whereas lung cancer screening can effectively reduce lung cancer mortality, yet upwards of only 7.2 percent of individuals in the United States at risk for lung cancer undergo lung cancer screening with low-dose computed tomography; Whereas current lung cancer screening guidelines help identify cancer early for individuals at high risk of lung cancer, leading to a higher likelihood of successful treatment, but can preclude screening for individuals who develop lung cancer, including individuals who have never smoked but have other risk factors, such as family history of lung cancer, exposure to secondhand smoke, or exposure to radon, which is the second-leading cause of lung cancer; and Whereas educational efforts can increase awareness of lung cancer and lung cancer screening among the general public, patients and their families, and health care workers, thereby increasing the early detection of lung cancer: Now, therefore, be it
