toggle caption Bill Clark/CQ-Roll Call, Inc./Getty ImagesMia Love, the first Black Republican woman elected to Congress, was diagnosed with glioblastoma in early 2025.
She died in Utah on Sunday at age 49, her family reported on the social media site X.
Love's death offers a reminder that doctors have made little progress in treating this form of brain cancer, which is diagnosed in more than 12,000 people each year in the United States. Most die within two years.
"The last incremental step forward was a new chemo regimen in 2005," says Dr. Michelle Monje, a professor of pediatric neuro-oncology at Stanford Medicine.
Progress has been slow because there are "more hurdles" when it comes to treating cancers that occur in the brain instead of the rest of the body, says Dr. Matthias Holdhoff, an associate professor of oncology at Johns Hopkins Medicine.
