           SUBJECT:   Prostate Cancer Awareness Month


          SOURCE:    California Prostate Cancer Coalition


          DIGEST:  This resolution designates September 2015 as Prostate  
          Cancer Awareness Month in California.




          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.
