Representative Dingell introduced a resolution to name February 4, 2026, as National Cancer Prevention Day. The goal is to focus public attention on how to lower the risk of getting cancer through healthier habits and a cleaner environment.
The resolution points out that cancer affects almost everyone in some way. In 2026 alone, experts estimate that more than 2 million people in the U.S. will be diagnosed with the disease and over 600,000 will die from it.
This action supports a larger national effort to cut the cancer death rate by 50 percent over the next 25 years. It encourages people to get screened early and supports scientists working to find ways to stop the disease.
