Key Points

This resolution officially recognizes March 2025 as a time to focus on colorectal cancer. It aims to teach people about how to prevent the disease and why getting checked early is so important.
Colorectal cancer is currently the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. However, doctors can often prevent it by finding and removing small growths before they turn into cancer.
The resolution points out that many deaths could be avoided if everyone over age 50 got regular screenings. Right now, about one out of every three adults in that age group is not up to date on their tests.
By the year 2030, this disease is expected to be the top cause of cancer deaths for people between the ages of 20 and 49. The resolution encourages everyone to learn the symptoms and talk to their doctors.
