## Summary

**National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month** is designated for September 2025 to raise public awareness, encourage screening conversations, and promote research into causes, detection, and treatment. The resolution notes more than 3.3 million men living with prostate cancer, that 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed in their lifetime, and that over 35,770 deaths are expected in 2025. It stresses that early detection with a prostate-specific antigen blood test or a digital rectal exam can catch cancer when five-year survival for localized disease nears 100 percent, while metastatic disease has about a 37 percent five-year survival. The Senate urges education, improved access to care, continued research, and public and group observances to help reduce prostate cancer's toll on individuals and families.
