Expressing support for the designation of September 2026 as "National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month".

This resolution expresses strong support for designating September 2026 as "National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month." It highlights the significant impact of prostate cancer, noting that 1 in 8 men in the United States will be diagnosed in their lifetime, making it the most commonly diagnosed non-skin cancer and the second-leading cause of cancer-related deaths among men. The resolution emphasizes that early detection through screening methods like digital rectal examinations and prostate-specific antigen blood tests is crucial, as it can increase the chances of survival for more than five years to nearly 100 percent. The House of Representatives declares that steps should be taken to raise awareness about screening and treatment, and to encourage research to improve detection, treatment, discover causes, and ultimately find a cure for prostate cancer. It also advocates for continued efforts to improve access to and the quality of healthcare services for detecting and treating the disease. Finally, the resolution calls upon the people of the United States, interest groups, and affected persons to actively promote awareness, combat the devastating effects of prostate cancer, and observe National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
