This Senate resolution designates May 2025 as "National Brain Tumor Awareness Month" to bring attention to a disease that affects over one million Americans and causes an estimated 93,000 new diagnoses each year. The resolution highlights that brain tumors are the leading cause of cancer death in children under 14 and teens under 19, with an overall five-year survival rate of just 35.7 percent for malignant brain tumors. The legislation encourages public awareness, supports patients and their families, and calls for collaborative research efforts to develop better treatments. This is a symbolic resolution that does not involve any funding or create new programs, but rather serves to officially recognize the month and raise awareness about the challenges faced by brain tumor patients and the need for continued research.
