The House designates September 2025 as Gynecologic Cancers Awareness Month to highlight the prevalence of cervical, ovarian, endometrial, vaginal, and vulvar cancers, which together account for nearly 119,000 new cases and over 34,000 deaths annually. It emphasizes that while cervical cancer has a reliable screening test and vaccine, endometrial and ovarian cancers lack early detection methods, making awareness critical for timely diagnosis. The resolution calls for increased public education on risk factors, symptoms, and prevention strategies, and urges individuals to seek medical guidance. It also supports continued research into gynecologic cancers and encourages federal initiatives to improve outcomes and reduce mortality. By promoting awareness, research, and prevention, the House aims to lessen the national burden of these cancers.
