Whereas a quarter of women will die within one year of diag-
nosis with ovarian cancer and over half will die within 
five years; 
Whereas there is the mammogram to detect breast cancer 
and the Pap smear to detect cervical cancer, there is cur-
rently no reliable early detection test for ovarian cancer; 
Whereas the lack of an early detection test means that ap-
proximately 80 percent of cases of ovarian cancer are de-
tected at an advanced stage; 
Whereas all women are at risk for ovarian cancer, and ap-
proximately 20 percent of women diagnosed with ovarian 
cancer have a hereditary predisposition of ovarian cancer, 
which places them at even higher risk; 
Whereas scientists and physicians have uncovered changes in 
the BRCA genes that some women inherit from their 
parents, which may make them 30 times more likely to 
develop ovarian cancer; 
Whereas a woman’s family history has been found to play an 
important role in accurately assessing her risk of devel-
oping ovarian cancer and medical experts believe a wom-
an’s family history should be taken into consideration 
during her annual Well Woman visit; 
Whereas many experts in health prevention now recommend 
genetic testing for young women with a family history of 
breast and ovarian cancer; 
Whereas women who know they are at high risk of breast and 
ovarian cancer may undertake prophylactic measures to 
help reduce their risk for developing these diseases; 
Whereas the Society of Gynecologic Oncology now rec-
ommends that all women diagnosed with ovarian cancer 
receive counseling and genetic testing;

Whereas many people are unaware that the symptoms of 
ovarian cancer often include bloating, pelvic or abdominal 
pain, difficulty eating or feeling full quickly, urinary 
symptoms, and several other symptoms that are easily 
confused with other diseases; 
Whereas awareness of the symptoms of ovarian cancer by 
women and health care providers can lead to a quicker 
diagnosis; 
Whereas in June 2007, the first national consensus state-
ment on ovarian cancer symptoms was developed to pro-
vide consistency in describing symptoms to make it easier 
for women to learn and remember the symptoms; 
Whereas each year during the month of September, the Ovar-
ian Cancer National Alliance and its partner members 
hold a number of events to increase public awareness of 
ovarian cancer; and 
Whereas September 2015 should be designated as ‘‘National 
Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month’’ to increase public 
awareness of ovarian cancer: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) supports the designation of ‘‘National Ovar-
ian Cancer Awareness Month’’; and 
(2) supports the goals and ideals of National 
Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month.

Whereas the Korean War was a global conflict that involved 
not only South Korea and North Korea, but also the
