This resolution expresses Senate support for designating September 2026 as National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. The resolution does not create new laws or funding but rather calls attention to ovarian cancer as a significant public health issue, noting that it is the fifth-leading cause of cancer deaths among women in the United States, with approximately 20,010 new cases expected in 2026. The resolution highlights key challenges including the lack of a reliable early detection test, the fact that about 80 percent of cases are detected at an advanced stage, and documented health disparities affecting Black women and other underserved communities who experience lower survival rates and delayed diagnoses. The resolution also emphasizes the importance of genetic testing, family history screening, and increased research funding for ovarian cancer, and it supports awareness efforts by organizations like the Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance during September.
