This Senate resolution expresses support for designating September 2025 as "National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month" to raise awareness about a disease that affects more than 3.3 million American men. The resolution highlights that prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed non-skin cancer among men, with 1 in 8 men expected to be diagnosed in their lifetime and an estimated 313,780 new cases and 35,770 deaths projected for 2025. The measure calls for increased awareness of screening methods and treatment options, emphasizes the importance of early detection when survival rates approach 100 percent, and encourages continued research to improve prevention and find a cure. The resolution notes that Congress has already allocated $75 million for Defense Department prostate cancer research in fiscal year 2025 and calls on Americans to observe the awareness month with appropriate activities and ceremonies.
