Sponsored By: Representative Green, Mark E. [R-TN-7]

Introduced

Summary

National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month would be designated in March 2025 to promote screening, prevention, and public education about early detection.

Show full summary
  • Families and households would receive awareness and educational outreach that can prompt earlier screening. Cancers found at a localized stage have a 90 percent five-year survival.
  • Adults 50 and older would see focus on closing screening gaps, noting that 1 in 3 adults over 50 are not up to date. The resolution cites CDC estimates that regular screening could prevent as many as 60 percent of deaths in this group.
  • Young adults (ages 20 to 49) would get heightened attention to rising risk, with colorectal cancer projected to become the leading cancer killer for this age group by 2030.
