More than 93,000 Americans are expected to be diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2025, and over 1 million are currently living with one. Brain tumors are the leading cause of cancer death in children under 14 and teens under 19, and the average five-year survival rate for malignant brain tumors is only about 36 percent. Despite these numbers, only a handful of treatments have been approved since the 1980s, and none extend survival more than two years on average or are considered curative. This resolution supports designating May 2025 as National Brain Tumor Awareness Month and calls for more research, better treatments, and a collaborative approach to tackling a disease that has seen little improvement in mortality rates over the past 30 years.
