Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim October 18-24, 2026, as Male Breast Cancer Awareness Week in the State of New York

This Senate resolution requests Governor Hochul to proclaim October 18-24, 2026, as Male Breast Cancer Awareness Week in New York. It highlights that male breast cancer accounts for less than 1% of breast cancer cases but has a higher mortality rate than in women due to delayed symptom recognition and lower awareness. The resolution encourages health care providers and community organizations to use this week for educational outreach about symptoms, risk factors, and early detection to improve outcomes for men.
