NEWS FROM THE SECOND DISTRICT 
Dear Friend,
I’m pleased to report that my bill, The Veteran’s Prostate Cancer Research and Treatment Act (H.R. 6092), passed in the U.S. House of Representatives.
My bill will direct the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to establish a national clinical pathway for prostate cancer, a standardized system of care for the treatment of what is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the veterans’ health system.
Prostate cancer is the number one cancer diagnosed in the Veterans Health Administration, with over 489,000 veterans undergoing treatment. The key to overcoming this cancer is early detection. Veterans deserve a system that streamlines the pathway from early detection to successful treatment.
I’m proud of my bill and my colleagues for joining me in the fight against this deadly adversary.
Thank you for your continued energy and enthusiasm, as reflected in your letters and Facebook posts. If you haven’t already, LIKE my Facebook page. You can also follow me on Twitter @DrNealDunnFL2.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve you in Congress!
Sincerely,
Neal Dunn
Member of Congress
