On April 7, 2026, the White House issued a message marking National Cancer Control Month, emphasizing support for Americans battling cancer. The administration highlighted that more than 5,000 people are diagnosed daily, totaling over 2 million cases annually, and that cancer is the nation’s second leading cause of death, claiming over 600,000 lives last year. It called for proactive measures such as maintaining a healthy weight, limiting alcohol and tobacco, and exercising, and urged regular screenings for early detection. The president cited recent actions: signing the Mikaela Naylon Give Kids a Chance Act in February to broaden treatment options for children, and an executive order in September to use artificial intelligence for pediatric cancer research. The message concluded with a commitment to prevent and cure cancer.
