The resolution also encourages all Americans to take part in efforts to increase early detection, improve treatment and discover more breakthroughs for the disease, which has a 99 percent survival rate if caught in the earliest stage. “Regular health screenings help detect prostate cancer early, when treatment is most effective,” said Senator Crapo. “I hope all men will discuss screening options with their health care provider and educate themselves further about early detection.” “Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths among men in the United States and devastates far too many families,” said Senator Booker. “The unanimous passage of this bipartisan resolution represents our shared commitment to investing in advances and raising awareness around prostate cancer, expanding access to treatment, and saving lives.” "Prostate Cancer Awareness Month is a powerful reminder for men to understand their risk and take proactive steps toward lifesaving early detection and treatment options," said Courtney Bugler, President and CEO of ZERO Prostate Cancer. "We are deeply grateful to Senator Crapo and Senator Booker for their steadfast leadership. Their commitment has been instrumental in advancing awareness, research, and support for men and families impacted by this disease. We are proud to stand alongside them and other champions in Congress, not just during this month, but year-round, as we continue to work together toward a future where no man faces prostate cancer alone.” Additional co-sponsors of the Resolution include Senators Jim Risch (R-Idaho) and Chris Van Hollen (D-Maryland). Prostate cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer-related deaths among men in the United States. One in eight men in the United States will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetimes, and one in 41 men in the United States will die from the disease.
