This resolution from Congress officially recognizes February 4, 2025, as National Cancer Prevention Day. The goal is to remind Americans that many cancers can be prevented by reducing health risks and protecting the environment.
The measure highlights the serious impact of cancer, noting that over 2 million new cases and more than 600,000 deaths are expected in the U.S. in 2025. It also recognizes the thousands of children who are diagnosed with the disease each year.
By designating this day, Congress aims to encourage people to get screened early and learn more about how to stay healthy. It also supports a national effort to cut the cancer death rate by 50 percent over the next 25 years.
