This Senate resolution designates July 15, 2026, as "Glioblastoma Awareness Day" to raise public awareness about glioblastoma, the most common and deadly form of malignant brain tumor. The resolution notes that over 13,000 Americans are expected to be diagnosed with glioblastoma in 2026, with more than 10,000 dying from it annually, and highlights the disease's grim statistics, including a 5-year survival rate of just 7 percent and a median survival of only 8 months. It honors patients who have died from or are currently living with glioblastoma, along with their families and caregivers, and calls for continued research investment through initiatives like the National Cancer Institute's Glioblastoma Therapeutics Network. The resolution also emphasizes the importance of molecular biomarker testing for diagnosis and urges collaboration among government, private, and nonprofit organizations to advance treatment options. As a symbolic resolution, it does not include funding or binding requirements but serves to draw attention to the disease and support ongoing research efforts.
