Whereas stomach cancer, also known as gastric cancer, is difficult to detect in the early stages of the disease due to the late onset of symptoms, which lowers survival rates; Whereas stomach cancer occurs when cancer cells develop in the lining of the stomach; Whereas stomach cancer is the fifth most commonly diagnosed type of cancer worldwide; Whereas, in 2024, an estimated— (1) 26,890 cases of stomach cancer will be diagnosed in the United States; and (2) 10,880 individuals in the United States will die from stomach cancer; Whereas the estimated 5-year survival rate for stomach cancer is only 36.4 percent, and the 5-year survival rate is just 7 percent when diagnosed at a late, or distant, stage; Whereas early-onset gastric cancer, gastric cancer presenting at the age of 45 or younger, appears to be rising for reasons that are unclear; Whereas helicobacter pylori has been identified as a risk factor for stomach cancer that often goes undetected and untreated; Whereas, in the United States, there are disparities in stomach cancer incidence and mortality among racial and ethnic minorities; Whereas a diagnosis of stomach cancer is often delayed, because stomach cancer usually does not have symptoms early on, making it hard to detect; Whereas increased awareness of, and education about, stomach cancer, including risk factors and symptoms, among patients and health care providers could improve timely diagnosis of stomach cancer; Whereas more research into prevention, early detection, and treatment for stomach cancer is needed; and Whereas November 2024 is an appropriate month to observe Stomach Cancer Awareness Month: Now, therefore, be it
