Bill > HRes675

This resolution expresses strong support for designating September 2025 as "National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month" while highlighting critical information about prostate cancer in the United States. The resolution notes that prostate cancer is a significant health concern, with over 3.1 million men having been diagnosed, and 1 in 8 men expected to be diagnosed in their lifetime, with 1 in 44 dying from the disease. It emphasizes that the American Cancer Society estimates 313,780 new diagnoses and over 35,770 deaths from prostate cancer in 2025, and points out that 40 percent of cases occur in men under 65, with risk increasing after age 50. The resolution highlights disparities, such as African-American men experiencing higher incidence and mortality rates, and emphasizes the importance of early screening through digital rectal examinations and prostate-specific antigen blood tests, which can increase survival rates to nearly 100 percent if detected early. The resolution calls for raising awareness, encouraging research to improve screening and treatment, developing a cure, and improving healthcare services, while also urging the public, interest groups, and affected individuals to actively promote awareness and combat the disease's devastating effects.
