A resolution designating May 2026 as "National Brain Tumor Awareness Month".

Designates May 2026 as National Brain Tumor Awareness Month to raise public awareness and encourage collaboration on research, care, and support for people affected by brain tumors. The resolution notes that more than 108,000 people in the United States will be diagnosed with a primary brain tumor this year and that over 1 million people are living with a brain tumor. It highlights that brain tumors are the leading cause of cancer death for children under 14 and teens under 19 and the second-leading cause for young adults 15 to 39. The resolution also cites a five-year survival rate for primary malignant brain tumors of about 34.8 percent, an expected 18,350 deaths in 2026, and ongoing challenges such as limited screening, few treatment advances since the 1980s, and research obstacles that make collaborative efforts important.
