The resolution highlights the significant impact of brain tumors on the American population, with over one million individuals currently living with the condition and approximately 90,000 new diagnoses each year. It emphasizes the grim statistics surrounding malignant brain tumors, including a low overall survival rate of 35.7% and particularly dire figures for Glioblastoma, which has an average survival rate of just 7.1%. The resolution also points out the complex challenges associated with treating brain tumors, the lasting effects they can have on individuals, and the lack of effective screening or early detection methods.

In response to these pressing issues, the resolution calls for increased public awareness and research into brain tumors. It declares May 2025 as "Brain Tumor Awareness Month" in the State of Rhode Island, aiming to promote understanding of the difficulties in brain tumor research and the potential for advancements in treatment. The resolution concludes by directing the Secretary of State to send certified copies to key figures in the American Brain Tumor Association, underscoring the importance of collaboration in addressing this critical health concern.
