Key Points

This resolution seeks to name July 15, 2026, as Glioblastoma Awareness Day. It aims to increase public knowledge about this aggressive and deadly form of brain cancer that affects over 13,000 Americans every year.
The policy highlights that glioblastoma is very difficult to treat, with a five-year survival rate of only 7.1 percent. It notes that only five drugs have been approved for this specific cancer since the 1920s, and survival rates have stayed mostly the same for 30 years.
The resolution encourages more investment in medical research and the use of special testing to help doctors find better treatments. It also recognizes the high medical costs families face and honors the patients and caregivers fighting the disease.
