Expressing support for the designation of September 30, 2025, as "Rare Cancer Day" to highlight the challenges patients with rare cancers face and to raise awareness and support efforts to improve early diagnosis and treatment.
HRES 732 is a symbolic resolution designating September 30, 2025, as "Rare Cancer Day" to raise public awareness about rare cancers.

The resolution urges increased awareness of rare cancer symptoms to improve early detection and supports partnerships to advance research and funding for better treatments.

The resolution was introduced by Representatives Kelly, Wasserman Schultz, Fitzpatrick, and Dingell and referred to the Energy and Commerce Committee.
