A resolution designating September 2024 as "National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month".
SRES 915 designates September 2024 as "National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month" to highlight prostate cancer prevention and early detection. The resolution encourages the public, healthcare providers, and organizations to promote awareness, support research for better screening and treatments, and improve access to care for men affected by prostate cancer. It does not create new laws or allocate funds but serves as a symbolic call to action, acknowledging that prostate cancer affects 1 in 8 U.S. men and is the second-leading cause of cancer death among men. This resolution directly affects all Americans, particularly men at risk for prostate cancer, by promoting education and community efforts during the designated month.
