Supporting the designation of March 2025 as National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.

Colorectal cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer death in the U.S. for men and women combined, yet it's one of the most preventable cancers because screening can catch polyps before they turn cancerous. The CDC estimates that if everyone over 50 got regular screenings, up to 60 percent of deaths could be prevented — but one in three adults over 50 still aren't up to date. This resolution supports designating March 2025 as National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month and encourages Americans to learn about prevention and get screened. By 2030, colorectal cancer is expected to become the top cancer killer for people ages 20 to 49.
