Key Points

The Senate officially named July 15, 2026, as a day to focus on glioblastoma. This is the most common and deadly type of brain cancer. About 13,000 people in the United States are expected to be diagnosed with it this year.
This resolution aims to bring more attention to how hard this disease is to treat. Right now, only 7 percent of people survive for five years after being diagnosed. Most people live for only about eight months after finding out they have it.
The government wants to encourage more research and better testing for this cancer. Since the 1920s, only five drugs have been approved to treat it. Patients also face very high medical costs compared to people with other types of cancer.
By creating this awareness day, the Senate hopes to support families and caregivers. It also calls for different groups like the government and private companies to work together to find a cure and improve the lives of those living with the disease.
