Bill > HRes371

This resolution expresses support for designating May 2025 as "National Brain Tumor Awareness Month" while highlighting critical information about brain tumors in the United States. The resolution notes that over 93,000 Americans are expected to be diagnosed with a primary brain tumor in 2025, including 5,000 children, and more than 1,000,000 Americans are currently living with a brain tumor. It emphasizes the significant impact of brain tumors, particularly among children and young adults, where brain tumors are a leading cause of cancer-related deaths. The resolution underscores the challenges of brain tumor treatment, including the complexity of the brain, the existence of over 100 tumor types, and a low average 5-year survival rate of 35.7 percent. Furthermore, it points out the limited advancements in brain tumor treatments since the 1980s and calls for greater public awareness, research support, and collaborative efforts to improve understanding and treatment of brain tumors. The resolution ultimately aims to honor those affected by brain tumors, support ongoing research, and encourage increased public understanding of this serious medical condition.
