## Summary

**National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month** would designate September 2025 to raise public and clinician awareness of ovarian cancer and promote education and research. It emphasizes symptom recognition, genetic testing for people at high risk, and attention to racial and access disparities. The resolution highlights that ovarian cancer is the fifth-leading cause of cancer deaths among U.S. women, that roughly 80 percent of cases are found at advanced stages because there is no reliable early detection test, and that Black and other underserved women face higher mortality and barriers to quality care. It also notes low uptake of recommended genetic testing and supports increased research and September awareness activities.
