Bill > HRes180

This resolution supports the designation of March 2025 as National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month by highlighting critical facts about colorectal cancer and calling for increased public awareness. The resolution notes that colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States and is highly preventable through screening, with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimating that up to 60 percent of deaths could be prevented if everyone aged 50 and older underwent regular screening tests. The resolution emphasizes alarming statistics, including that 1 in 23 men and 1 in 26 women will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer in their lifetime, and by 2030, it is expected to become the number one cancer killer for individuals aged 20-49. The House of Representatives supports the goals and ideals of National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month and encourages Americans to participate in appropriate awareness and educational activities to promote early detection, prevention, and understanding of the disease.
