SRES 775 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A resolution expressing support for the designation of July 15, 2024, as "National Leiomyosarcoma Awareness Day".

This Senate resolution (SRES 775) expresses support for designating July 15, 2024, as "National Leiomyosarcoma Awareness Day." It does not create new laws or allocate funding, but instead aims to raise public awareness about leiomyosarcoma - a rare, aggressive cancer affecting over 2,000 people annually in the U.S. The resolution acknowledges the disease's challenges, including limited treatment options and stagnant survival rates over 30 years, while recognizing efforts by organizations and caregivers. It serves as a symbolic gesture to highlight the need for greater attention to this understudied cancer.
