HCONRES 55 United States House · 119th Congress

Designating September 2025 as "Gynecologic Cancers Awareness Month".

This concurrent resolution designates September 2025 as "Gynecologic Cancers Awareness Month" to promote public education about cervical, ovarian, endometrial, vaginal, and vulvar cancers. It supports raising awareness of these cancers - highlighting that 118,920 new cases and 34,630 deaths occur annually - with a focus on early detection, prevention (like cervical cancer vaccines), and research. The resolution urges the public to learn about risk factors and encourages efforts to improve health outcomes, but does not create new laws or funding. It is a symbolic measure intended to align with existing awareness efforts by groups like the Foundation for Women’s Cancer.
