SRES 648 United States Senate · 117th Congress

A resolution designating May 2022 as "National Brain Tumor Awareness Month".

SRES 648 is a symbolic Senate resolution designating May 2022 as "National Brain Tumor Awareness Month." It does not create new laws or affect specific individuals, but aims to raise public awareness about brain tumors through official recognition. The resolution cites statistics on brain tumor diagnoses (over 88,000 estimated new cases in 2022), survival rates (35.6% 5-year survival), and their status as a leading cause of cancer death in children and young adults. It encourages public awareness, supports research for better treatments, and honors those affected by brain tumors. This resolution has no direct policy impact but serves as a formal acknowledgment of the disease's significance.
