WHEREAS, For the most malignant type of brain tumor, glioblastoma, the five-year relative survival rate is only 6.8 percent and median survival is only eight months; and

WHEREAS, Los Angeles is home to one of the leading brain tumor centers in the world; and

WHEREAS, Increased public awareness of brain tumors through advocacy and support for vital research, as well as education about the impact brain tumors have on the lives of patients and their families, are critical to finding a cure; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Assembly of the State of California, That the Assembly declares the month of May 2025 as Brain Tumor Awareness Month; and be it further
