Assembly Amendments add a coauthor and make a technical change. ANALYSIS: This resolution makes the following legislative findings: SCR 76 Page 2 1)Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in men aside from skin cancer, and it is estimated that one in seven men will develop this disease in his lifetime. 2)Early prostate cancer usually has no symptoms, and studies suggest strong familial predisposition may be responsible for 5% to 10% of the disease cases. 3)Recent studies suggest that a diet high in processed meat or dairy foods may be a risk factor, and obesity appears to increase risk of aggressive prostate cancer. 4)The survival rate approaches 100% when prostate cancer is diagnosed and treated early, but drops to 28% when it spreads to other parts of the body. 5)Treatment options for prostate cancer vary depending on a man's age and the stage and grade of his cancer, as well as his other existing medical conditions. This resolution proclaims September 2015 as Prostate Cancer Awareness Month in California. Prior Legislation SCR 101 (Gaines, Resolution Chapter 118, Statutes of 2014) designated September 2014 as Prostate Cancer Awareness Month in the State of California.
