## Summary

**Would designate October 2025 as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month** to increase public awareness and promote research and better access to care. The resolution cites more than 319,000 new cases and about 42,000 deaths expected in 2025 and says at least one person is diagnosed every two minutes. It notes survival varies sharply by stage, that metastatic breast cancer has no cure and many patients continue treatment to preserve quality of life, and that Black women face about 38 percent higher mortality. It highlights over 4,000,000 survivors and urges attention to screening, treatment, and research funding.
