Senate Recognizes Ovarian Cancer Month

On July 14, the Senate approved, by unanimous consent, S. Res. 521, a resolution designating September as National Ovarian Cancer Month.

Among other provisions, the resolution, sponsored by Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH), acknowledges that the mortality rate for ovarian cancer has not decreased much since the “War on Cancer” was declared forty years ago and that there is no reliable early detection test for the disease.
