Supporting the designation of September 2026 as "National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month".

Sponsored By: Representative DeLauro, Rosa L. [D-CT-3]

Introduced

Summary

National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month (September 2026) would be designated to raise public and clinical awareness of ovarian cancer, its often vague symptoms, and the need for earlier diagnosis. The resolution would note that ovarian cancer is the fifth-leading cause of cancer deaths among U.S. women, that the American Cancer Society estimates about 20,010 new cases and 12,450 deaths in 2026, that no reliable early detection test exists, and that Black women and other underserved groups face later diagnoses and worse outcomes.
