Friday, U.S. Senators Todd Young (R-Ind.), Ben Cardin (D-Md.), and Mike Braun (R-Ind.) introduced a resolution marking November 2024 as Stomach Cancer Awareness Month.
“Stomach cancer continues to have a tragic impact on the lives of many Americans. Since 2018, I have introduced this resolution to raise awareness about the deadly disease to improve early detection and treatment and hopefully save more lives,” said Senator Young.
The resolution was first introduced in 2018 in memory of Indianapolis Star reporter and columnist Matthew Tully, who lost his battle with stomach cancer that year.
Stomach cancer is the fifth most commonly diagnosed type of cancer worldwide and one of the most difficult to detect in its early stages. The resolution supports more education of patients and health care providers and more research into early diagnosis, screening, and treatment.
The United States Senate is expected to pass the resolution in the coming weeks.
