Grassley Recognizes Lung Cancer Awareness Month

Floor Remarks by Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa Senate President Pro Tempore “Lung Cancer Awareness Month” Wednesday, November 19, 2025 VIDEO November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month. One in 18 people receive a lung cancer diagnosis during their lifetime. Twelve percent of diagnoses have had no tobacco exposure. This disease impacts hundreds of thousands of families across our country. My friend Marlys Carlson of Stratford, Iowa, finished her battle with lung cancer in July of this year and is now with her Lord and Savior. I want to raise awareness for lung cancer in her honor today, Mr. President. -30-
