H.Con.Res. 55 is a symbolic resolution designating September 2025 as "Gynecologic Cancers Awareness Month" to raise public attention to cancers affecting the female reproductive system, including cervical, ovarian, endometrial, vaginal, and vulvar cancers. The resolution highlights that these cancers affect approximately 118,920 women annually with roughly 34,630 deaths, and notes that endometrial and ovarian cancers have rising or persistently high mortality rates with limited early detection options. The resolution supports efforts to increase awareness about risk factors, prevention, and the importance of screening where available (particularly cervical cancer, which has a vaccine and reliable screening test), and encourages research and improved health outcomes for affected women. There is no funding associated with this resolution, as it is a non-binding statement of congressional support rather than legislation that appropriates money or creates new programs. The resolution was introduced in October 2025 and referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
