This resolution highlights the significant impact of brain tumors, noting that over 108,000 individuals are diagnosed annually and more than 1,000,000 Americans live with a brain tumor. It emphasizes that brain tumors are the leading cause of cancer death in children and teens, and the second-leading cause in young adults, with a low average 5-year survival rate of 34.8 percent for malignant cases. The text points out the complexities of treatment due to over 100 types of tumors and the brain's fragile nature, alongside limited advancements in new treatments and early detection strategies. To address these challenges, the resolution expresses strong support for designating May 2026 as "National Brain Tumor Awareness Month" . It encourages increased public awareness, supports efforts to develop better treatments to improve quality of life and prognosis, and honors individuals who have lost their lives or are currently living with a brain tumor. Furthermore, it urges a collaborative approach to brain tumor research as a promising means to advance understanding and treatment for this devastating disease.
