Bill > SRes436

This resolution expresses support for designating September 2025 as "National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month" by highlighting critical statistics about prostate cancer in the United States. The resolution notes that over 3.3 million men are living with prostate cancer, 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed in their lifetime, and it is the most commonly diagnosed non-skin cancer among men. The Senate resolves to raise awareness about prostate cancer screening and treatment, encourage research to improve detection and potentially discover a cure, and calls on the American public and interest groups to actively promote understanding of the disease. The resolution emphasizes the importance of early detection, noting that when localized prostate cancer is caught early, the survival rate is nearly 100%, but only 37% of men survive more than 5 years if the cancer has metastasized. Additionally, the resolution acknowledges significant federal funding for cancer research, including $48.5 billion to the National Institutes of Health and $75 million specifically for the Prostate Cancer Research Program, and highlights the Department of Veterans Affairs' establishment of 21 Precision Oncology Centers of Excellence to support veterans with prostate cancer.
