AI Summary
This resolution, HR 89, declares the month of March 2026 as Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month in California. It highlights that colorectal cancer is a significant public health concern, being the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S. and a growing issue for younger adults, with increasing incidence rates among Californians under 50. The resolution also points out health disparities, noting higher rates among American Indian/Alaskan Native and Black Californians, as well as those in rural or medically underserved areas. It emphasizes that colorectal cancer is preventable and treatable when detected early through screening, such as colonoscopies, stool tests, and newer blood tests, and aims to increase public awareness and promote lifesaving screenings to achieve a national goal of 80 percent screening rates among eligible adults. Finally, it directs the Chief Clerk of the Assembly to distribute copies of this resolution.
