Key Points

The measure points out that brain tumors are the leading cause of cancer deaths for children and teenagers. It also notes that the average five year survival rate for patients with malignant tumors is only about 36 percent.
The goal of the resolution is to encourage more public awareness and better medical research. It notes that very few new treatments have been approved since the 1980s and none of the current options are considered a cure.
The resolution expresses support for patients, families, and caregivers. It urges a collaborative approach to research to help find better ways to treat and understand the disease.
