Digest KeyBill TextWHEREAS, Ovarian cancer is the most fatal of all female reproductive system cancers;

andWHEREAS, In 2026, the American Cancer Society estimates approximately 21,010 women will receive a new diagnosis for ovarian cancer, and approximately 12,450 women will die from ovarian cancer in the United States;

andWHEREAS, The five-year survival rates for ovarian cancer, by time of diagnosis, are as follows:

andWHEREAS,and WHEREAS, By the time most patients with ovarian cancer see a doctor, 70 to 80 percent are already at stage 3 or later, meaning the cancer has already begun to spread to the lymph nodes and outside of the pelvis;

andWHEREAS,and WHEREAS, Additionally, ovarian cancer primarily affects older women, with approximately one-half of all diagnoses occurring in women 63 years of age and older;

andWHEREAS,and WHEREAS, Ovarian cancer continues to cast a long and painful shadow over countless families, stealing the lives of mothers, daughters, sisters, and friends far too soon, and leaving in its wake a legacy of loss and grief;

andWHEREAS,and WHEREAS, Each September, during Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, we pause to remember those we have lost, honor those who continue to bravely confront this disease, and recommit ourselves to supporting survivors, caregivers, and all those working tirelessly to improve outcomes and raise public awareness of ovarian cancer;

andWHEREAS,and WHEREAS, Ovarian cancer makes up only 2.5 percent of all female cancer cases, yet it causes 5 percent of cancer deaths due to its low survival rate.

andWHEREAS,and WHEREAS, It is essential to actively encourage all women to engage in early preventive care and routine screenings for ovarian cancer.

andWHEREAS,and WHEREAS, Ovarian cancer not only threatens lives, but also places emotional, physical, and financial burdens on families and communities across our state.

and be it furtherResolved,further Resolved, That the Secretary of the Senate transmit copies of this resolution to the author for appropriate distribution.
