ABPCA Bill Id:HR 38 (

Author:Fong) – As Introduced Ver:May 1, 2025

SUBJECT: Brain Tumor Awareness Month.

SUMMARY: Declares the month of May 2025 as Brain Tumor Awareness Month. Specifically, this resolution makes the following legislative findings:

An estimated 1 million Americans, of all ages, races, ethnicities, and genders, are currently living with a primary brain tumor.
Malignant brain tumors are among the deadliest forms of cancer, with just a 36 percent, five-year relative survival rate, and can induce substantial changes in lifestyle and well-being for patients as well as their loved ones.
For the most malignant type of brain tumor, glioblastoma, the five-year relative survival rate is only 6.8 percent and median survival is only eight months.
Los Angeles is home to one of the leading brain tumor centers in the world.
Increased public awareness of brain tumors through advocacy and support for vital research, as well as education about the impact brain tumors have on the lives of patients and their families, are critical to finding a cure.

FISCAL EFFECT: This resolution is keyed non-fiscal by Legislative Counsel.
