This resolution expresses support for designating March 2025 as National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month . It underscores the critical importance of this designation by noting that colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among men and women combined in the United States, yet it is one of the most highly preventable forms of cancer through regular screening. Early detection significantly boosts the 5-year survival rate, but a substantial portion of adults are not current with recommended screenings. The resolution aims to increase public awareness and education regarding colorectal cancer prevention, screening, and symptoms. It encourages the people of the United States to observe the month with appropriate awareness and educational activities. Such efforts are vital to inform the public about methods of prevention, available screening options, and symptoms for early detection, ultimately working to reduce incidence and mortality rates.
