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

HRES 180 is a non-binding House resolution supporting the designation of March 2025 as National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. It does not create new laws or funding but encourages public awareness and educational activities about colorectal cancer prevention, screening, and early detection. The resolution highlights that colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S. and that regular screening could prevent up to 60% of related deaths. It urges the public and healthcare organizations to observe the month with educational efforts to address low screening rates among adults over 50. This resolution has no direct legal effect but aligns with annual awareness campaigns.
