Key Points

The Senate officially named July 16, 2025, as a day to raise awareness for glioblastoma. This is the most common and aggressive type of cancerous brain tumor.
About 13,000 people in the United States are expected to be diagnosed with this cancer in 2025. It is very difficult to treat, and most patients live for less than a year after they are diagnosed.
The resolution points out that only five drugs have been approved to treat this cancer since the 1920s. It calls for more investment in research and new treatments to help patients live longer and have a better quality of life.
This action also honors the 10,000 Americans who die from the disease each year. It highlights the high medical costs families face and the need for better testing to help doctors identify the disease more accurately.
