Supporting the designation of June, as "Brain and Spine Metastasis Awareness Month".

This resolution (HRES 1270) symbolically designates June as "Brain and Spine Metastasis Awareness Month" to highlight a critical cancer complication where tumors spread to the brain or spine. It directly affects patients with metastatic cancer, their families, and healthcare providers by calling for increased awareness of specialized treatment options. The resolution urges the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to boost education on brain/spine metastasis care, support dedicated treatment centers, expand access to clinical trials, and fund research into this specific cancer complication. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new laws but formally recognizes the need for greater focus on this area of cancer care.
