Senate Resolution No. 125

BY: Senator PERSAUD

 MEMORIALIZING Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim
 September 2025, as Gynecologic Cancer Awareness
 Month in the State of New York

 WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body to recognize
official months that are set aside to increase awareness of serious
illnesses that affect the lives of citizens of New York State; and

 WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its
long- standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim September 2025, as
Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month in the State of New York, in
conjunction with the observance of National Gynecologic Cancer Awareness
Month; and

 WHEREAS, Gynecological Cancer Awareness Month provides an important
opportunity to draw attention to this important women's health issue and
offer vital information on risk cancers, warning signs, and prevention
strategies; and

 WHEREAS, According to the American Cancer Society, it is estimated
that this year more than 113,500 women will be diagnosed with a
gynecologic cancer and more than 33,000 will die from the disease; and

 WHEREAS, Gynecological cancers are those that develop in a woman's
reproductive tract and include cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine
cancer, vaginal cancer and vulvar cancer; and

 WHEREAS, There are different risk factors for each of these cancers,
including, in some cases, heredity; however, there are many women who
develop cancer without being considered high risk; and

 WHEREAS, Each type of gynecological cancer has different symptoms,
some of which may be difficult to recognize; while women should be
familiar with the symptoms associated with gynecological cancer, it is
just as important for women to pay attention to their own bodies and
take note when something is "off" or not normal; and

 WHEREAS, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has
developed a symptoms diary women can use to keep track of any unusual
symptoms they may experience so they can share this in detail with a
healthcare provider; and

 WHEREAS, It is important for women to be aware of the types of
gynecological cancer, symptoms and potential warning signs to watch out
for, and screening and prevention strategies; it is imperative that
there be greater awareness of this serious health condition, and more
must be done to increase activity at local, State and National levels;
now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim September 2025, as
Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Honorable Kathy Hochul, Governor of the State of New
York.
