SUBJECT: Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month of 2024
SOURCE: Author
DIGEST: This resolution proclaims the month of September 2024 as Ovarian
Cancer Awareness Month of 2024.
ANALYSIS: This resolution makes the following legislative findings:
1) Ovarian cancer is the most deadly of all female reproductive system cancers.
2) Each year, approximately 21,980 women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
   The American Cancer Society estimates that there will be approximately 21,410
   new cases of ovarian cancer diagnosed this year, and that approximately 13,770
   women would die in the United States from ovarian cancer.
3) One in 78 women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer during her lifetime
4) Most new cases of ovarian cancer are diagnosed at Stage 3 or later, meaning the
   cancer has already begun to spread to the lymph nodes and outside of the pelvis.
5) During Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, we honor the loved ones we have
   lost to this disease and all those who battle it today, and we continue our work
   to improve care and raise awareness about ovarian cancer.
6) When ovarian cancer is found in its early stages, treatment is most effective and
   the chances for recovery are greatest. However, ovarian cancer is difficult to
   detect early. There is no simple and reliable way to screen for this disease,
   symptoms are often not clear until later stages, and most women are diagnosed
   without being at high risk.
