[Congressional Bills 119th Congress] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office] [H. Res. 1591 Introduced in House (IH)] <DOC> 119th CONGRESS 2d Session H. RES. 1591 Expressing support for the designation of October 15, 2026, as ``Liver Cancer Awareness Day''. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES October 1, 2026 Mr. Bacon (for himself and Ms. Velazquez) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce _______________________________________________________________________ RESOLUTION Expressing support for the designation of October 15, 2026, as ``Liver Cancer Awareness Day''. Whereas October is widely recognized as Liver Cancer Awareness Month in the United States; Whereas liver cancer is a deadly and rapidly growing public health threat in the United States that demands greater national awareness and urgent congressional action; Whereas liver cancer disproportionately impacts men and certain racial and ethnic populations, including Hispanic and American Indian communities; Whereas liver cancer has a disproportionately high mortality rate relative to incidence, but survival improves dramatically when detected early, turning awareness and screening into lifesaving tools; Whereas gaps in awareness among patients and providers frequently lead to missed or delayed screenings that could enable curative treatment instead of late-stage palliative care; Whereas public awareness campaigns are a proven tool for increasing screening rates and early detection across many diseases; and Whereas establishing October 15 as a national observance for ``Liver Cancer Awareness Day'' will focus public, clinical, and community attention on prevention, risk identification, and timely testing: Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the House of Representatives-- (1) supports the designation of ``Liver Cancer Awareness Day''; (2) recognizes the efforts of patients, families, advocates, researchers, health care providers, and manufacturers of early liver cancer testing to raise awareness and promote early detection; and (3) encourages the people of the United States and interested groups to observe the day with appropriate programs and activities that promote liver cancer prevention, education on risk factors, and the importance of early detection. <all>
