SRES 481 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A resolution expressing support for the goals of Stomach Cancer Awareness Month.

This resolution (SRES 481) expresses the U.S. Senate's support for Stomach Cancer Awareness Month in November 2023. It highlights that stomach cancer is difficult to detect early (with a 35.7% 5-year survival rate), affects over 26,500 people annually in the U.S., and disproportionately impacts racial and ethnic minorities. The resolution encourages public awareness efforts, education for patients and healthcare providers, and additional research into early detection and treatment, while urging states and localities to support the month's goals. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new laws or allocate funds.
