A resolution supporting the designation of September 2026 as "National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month".

This Senate resolution supports designating September 2026 as National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month to increase public understanding of the disease. The bill highlights that ovarian cancer is a leading cause of cancer death among women in the United States, with approximately 80 percent of cases detected at an advanced stage due to vague symptoms and the lack of reliable early detection tests. It notes significant disparities in diagnosis and survival rates for Black women, women of color, low-income individuals, and those living in rural areas. The resolution also emphasizes the importance of genetic testing for high-risk individuals and calls for increased federal investment in research to improve treatment outcomes.
