Month''.

_______________________________________________________________________

IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

October 23, 2025

Mr. Scott of South Carolina (for himself and Mr. Reed) submitted the
following resolution; which was considered and agreed to

_______________________________________________________________________

RESOLUTION

Designating September 2025 as ``National Childhood Cancer Awareness
Month''.

Whereas each year more than 14,500 children under the age of 19 in the United
States are diagnosed with cancer;
Whereas every year approximately 1,600 children in the United States lose their
lives to cancer;
Whereas childhood cancer is one of the leading causes of death from disease
after infancy and one of the leading causes of death overall for
children in the United States;
Whereas the 5-year survival rate for children with cancer in the United States
has increased from 58 percent in the mid-1970s to 85 percent in 2025,
representing a significant improvement from previous decades;
Whereas 60 to more than 90 percent or more of children in the United States who
survive cancer will develop at least one chronic health condition, and
some survivors may face a late effect from treatment that can be severe
or life-threatening; and
Whereas childhood cancer occurs frequently and spares no racial or ethnic group,
socioeconomic class, or geographic region: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--

(1) designates September 2025 as ``National Childhood
Cancer Awareness Month'';

(2) requests that the Federal Government, States,
localities, and nonprofit organizations observe the month with
appropriate programs and activities, with the goal of
increasing public knowledge of the risks of childhood cancer;

(3) encourages survivors of childhood cancer to continue to
receive ongoing monitoring and care throughout their adult
lives;

(4) recognizes the human toll of childhood cancer and
pledges to make the prevention of and cure for childhood cancer
a public health priority;

(5) reminds the people of the United States of the bravery
of children who are diagnosed with cancer; and

(6) commends and honors the courage of such children.
