## Summary

**Raising awareness and accelerating research on DIPG pediatric brain cancer.** The resolution designates May 17, 2025 as DIPG Pediatric Brain Cancer Awareness Day to encourage better understanding, new treatments, and comprehensive care for children with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma and their families. It notes DIPG affects about 200 to 300 U.S. children each year and is the leading cause of pediatric brain-cancer deaths. For a child who receives treatment median survival is about 11 months and the 5-year survival rate is about 2 percent. The average diagnosis age is 5 to 10 and outcomes have not meaningfully improved in 50 years.
