## Summary

**This bill would designate September 2026 as** **National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month** to raise public and clinical awareness and spotlight research and equity gaps. It notes there is no reliable early detection test and about 80% of cases are found at an advanced stage, with overall five-year survival near 51.6% and much higher when caught early. The resolution highlights disparities affecting Black women, women of color, low-income and rural patients, calls for wider genetic counseling and testing for high-risk women, and urges more federal research and better data on care and outcomes.
