SUBJECT: Prostate Cancer Awareness Month
SOURCE: California Prostate Cancer Coalition
DIGEST:
This resolution proclaims the month of September 2019 as Prostate Cancer Awareness Month in California.
ANALYSIS: This resolution makes the following legislative findings:
- Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in men and the second leading cause of cancer deaths in men.
- The American Cancer Society estimates there will be 174,650 new cases of prostate cancer in the U.S. in 2019, resulting in an estimated 31,620 deaths. It is estimated 24,550 men in California will be diagnosed with prostate cancer this year and 4,470 California men will die from this disease.
- Early prostate cancer usually has no symptoms and studies suggest strong familial predisposition may be responsible for 5-10% of the disease cases.
- Late stage prostate cancer commonly spreads to the bones, which can cause pain in the hips, spine, ribs, or other areas in the body.
- The five-year survival rate approaches 100% when prostate cancer is diagnosed and treated early, but drops to 30% when it spreads to the other parts of the body.
This resolution designates September 2019 as Prostate Cancer Awareness Month; and joins communities across our nation to increase awareness about the importance for men to make an informed decision with their health care provider about early detection and testing for prostate cancer.

ARGUMENTS IN SUPPORT: According to the author, “Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer deaths in men. The American Cancer Society is estimating a staggering 174,650 new cases of prostate cancer in the U.S. in 2019, that will likely result in an estimated 31,620 deaths. It’s important that we shine a spotlight on this health risk and increase the awareness about the importance for men to make an informed decision with their health care provider about early detection and testing for prostate cancer.”
The American Urological Association “strongly supports this resolution declaring that steps should be taken to raise awareness about the importance of prostate cancer screening methods and treatment, which will improve access and quality of health care services for detecting and treating prostate cancer. It also calls for the nation to take an active role in the promotion of prostate cancer awareness and the fight to end the devastating effects of prostate cancer.”
