[Congressional Bills 119th Congress] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office] [H. Res. 1601 Introduced in House (IH)] <DOC> 119th CONGRESS 2d Session H. RES. 1601 Recognizing September as ``Childhood Cancer Awareness Month''. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES October 1, 2026 Mr. Miller of Ohio (for himself, Mr. Kelly of Pennsylvania, and Mrs. Cammack) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce _______________________________________________________________________ RESOLUTION Recognizing September as ``Childhood Cancer Awareness Month''. Whereas September is recognized as ``Childhood Cancer Awareness Month'', and the annual observance brings attention to children and families affected by cancer and the importance of advancements to improve survival rates and quality of life for pediatric cancer patients; Whereas childhood cancer remains the leading cause of death by disease among children past infancy in the United States; Whereas, due to medical advancements, screening, and awareness, 86 percent of children with cancer now survive 5 years or more, which is a significant advancement since the mid-1970s when the survival rate was only 58 percent; however, too many young lives are still lost or jeopardized; Whereas childhood cancers can differ from adult cancers, with unique biological characteristics and treatment depending on the type of cancer and the child's circumstances, and with survivors often impacted by the long- term effects of cancer; Whereas childhood cancer includes several different diseases and, according to the National Cancer Institute's childhood cancer overview, leukemias, brain and other central nervous system tumors, and lymphomas are among the most common cancers in children up to age 14; Whereas the impacts of cancer and its treatment in childhood, adolescence, or young adulthood may affect health years later, with 96 percent of childhood cancer survivors developing one or more chronic health conditions and over 20 percent of such survivors experiencing severe or life-threatening complications into adulthood; Whereas the dedicated commitment of individuals treating and advancing research to address childhood cancer is pivotal; Whereas treatment methods for childhood cancers continue to evolve as more advanced treatments are developed to improve survival rates and quality of life for pediatric cancer patients through drug discovery and clinical trials, accelerating safer and more effective treatments for children with cancer and better utilization of valuable health care resources; Whereas the presidential message on National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month called for bringing together American innovation and cutting-edge technology, providing new hope to children and families fighting cancer; and Whereas, while childhood cancers are the leading cause of death from disease among children in the United States, over the past several decades the 5-year survival rate for childhood cancer has improved, but despite those advances, approximately 1,820 children and adolescents in the United States die of cancer each year: Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the House of Representatives-- (1) expresses support for the recognition of ``Childhood Cancer Awareness Month''; (2) affirms a renewed national commitment to address childhood cancer in the United States by advancing innovation to accelerate the development of safer and more effective treatments to improve survival rates and quality of life for pediatric cancer patients; and (3) commends the dedicated commitment of individuals who provide treatment and care for children and their families impacted by cancer, and recognizes the transformative role of such individuals in reducing the burden of cancer, thereby improving long-term health outcomes for children in the United States and making a positive impact on their futures. <all>
