      H.R. No. 1073       R E S O L U T I O N          WHEREAS, World Ovarian Cancer Day is being observed on May 8,   2025; and          WHEREAS, Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of   cancer-related death in women in the United States, accounting for   more deaths than any other gynecologic cancer; a woman's risk of   being diagnosed with the disease during her lifetime is about 1 in   91; and          WHEREAS, The American Cancer Society estimates that nearly   21,000 cases of ovarian cancer will be diagnosed in 2025, and   approximately 12,700 individuals, including some 1,100 Texans,   will die from the disease; survival rates vary greatly depending on   the stage of diagnosis, and while the five-year survival rate is   approximately 50 percent, it is more than 90 percent when caught   early; and          WHEREAS, Currently, there is no reliable early detection test   for ovarian cancer; however, improved awareness of the symptoms,   which may include bloating, pelvic or abdominal pain, trouble   eating or feeling full quickly, and urinary issues, can lead to a   faster diagnosis and improved outcomes for women; and          WHEREAS, Ongoing investments in ovarian cancer research and   education are critical in the fight against this life-threatening   disease, and the observance of World Ovarian Cancer Day unites   people across the globe in their commitment to heightening   awareness of this serious health issue; now, therefore, be it          RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas   Legislature hereby recognize May 8, 2025, as World Ovarian Cancer   Day and urge all Texans to learn more about the disease.     King     ______________________________   Speaker of the House                 I certify that H.R.
