Supporting the designation of "Brain and Spine Metastasis Awareness Month".
H. Res. 532 is a House resolution introduced on June 23, 2025, by Mrs. Foushee. It designates and supports “Brain and Spine Metastasis Awareness Month” and emphasizes that brain and spine metastases can arise from many cancers and contribute significantly to cancer-related morbidity and mortality. The resolution expresses Congress’s intent to raise awareness about treatment options and to educate patients and families about brain and spine metastasis. It directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to take several actions, including increasing education about treatment options (such as targeted therapies and immunotherapies), supporting the creation and operation of centers specializing in brain and spine metastasis, improving access to dedicated clinical trials, and investing in research specifically focused on the biology and treatment of brain and spine metastases across various cancers. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new laws or mandatory funding, but it signals congressional support and urges federal action through HHS.
