Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This resolution expresses congressional support for designating October 15, 2026, as "Liver Cancer Awareness Day." The measure recognizes that liver cancer is a growing public health threat in the United States with particularly severe impacts on men and certain racial and ethnic communities, including Hispanic and American Indian populations. According to the resolution, liver cancer has high mortality rates, but survival rates improve significantly when the disease is detected early, making awareness and screening critically important. The resolution encourages patients, families, advocates, researchers, healthcare providers, and the public to observe the designated day through programs and activities focused on liver cancer prevention, education about risk factors, and the importance of early detection. No funding is allocated, as this is a symbolic resolution expressing support for a national observance rather than authorizing any government programs or expenditures.
