Bill overview
The Counting Veterans’ Cancer Act of 2024 aims to improve cancer care for veterans by requiring the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to share data on veterans diagnosed with cancer with state cancer registries. Currently, approximately 26,500 cancer cases among veterans are not reported, hindering efforts to track cancer trends and improve healthcare. This legislation would ensure that all VA cancer data is included in national registries, supporting research, screening programs, and ultimately, better outcomes for veterans.
