Federal Firefighter Cancer Detection and Prevention Act of 2025

This bill would require the Secretary of Defense to provide Department of Defense firefighters, at no cost to them, medical tests and related services to detect and prevent certain cancers, generally during their annual health assessment. The services would include mammograms for female firefighters, colon cancer screening, prostate cancer testing for male firefighters, and screenings for other cancers that the CDC has found to be more common among firefighters. Firefighters could choose not to receive any test or service. The Department would record test acceptance rates and results to track cancer trends, remove personal identifying information before analysis, and could share test data with the CDC.
