H.Res. 1037 is a symbolic resolution expressing the House of Representatives' support for designating February 4, 2026, as "National Cancer Prevention Day." The resolution acknowledges that cancer is a leading cause of death affecting nearly everyone directly or indirectly, and notes that in 2026 alone, an estimated 2.1 million new cancer cases and over 626,000 cancer deaths are projected in the United States. The bill recognizes the importance of cancer prevention, risk reduction, and early detection efforts while supporting the Cancer Moonshot initiative, which aims to cut the cancer death rate by 50 percent over the next 25 years. As a resolution rather than legislation, this bill does not create new programs, funding, or legal requirements—it simply expresses congressional sentiment and encourages awareness and collaboration among Americans, companies, and medical institutions to combat cancer.
