LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SCR 73, Niello. Familial Adenomatous Polyposis Awareness Week.
This measure would proclaim the week of June 16, 2025, to June 22, 2025, inclusive, as Familial Adenomatous Polyposis Awareness Week in California.
WHEREAS, Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC)-associated polyposis, which includes familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), is a hereditary condition that results in high number of polyps developing within the colon and rectum, significantly increasing an individual’s risk of colorectal cancer; and
WHEREAS, Genetic changes in the APC gene related to FAP leads to the development of hundreds of polyps within the colon, frequently beginning during an individual’s teenage years, that, if left untreated leads to cancer developing, on average, by 39 years of age; and
WHEREAS, Attenuated familial adenomatous polyposis (AFAP) is a variant of the condition, that causes fewer polyps to develop at a later age, with an average cancer diagnosis of 55 years of age when left untreated; and
WHEREAS, Undiagnosed FAP and AFAP can increase the risk of cancer to develop in the stomach, small intestine, liver, brain, thyroid, and pancreas, and can cause other health conditions, such as osteomas and desmoid tumors; and
WHEREAS, Having a sibling, parent, or child with the condition increases an individual’s risk of FAP or AFAP. Knowing your family health history and discussing it with your health care provider can help determine if genetic counseling or genetic testing would be appropriate; and
WHEREAS, Understanding your risk for FAP or AFAP can help health care providers determine an appropriate treatment and screening protocol for the prevention or early detection of colorectal and other cancers, and
WHEREAS, During this week, Stanford University Department of Health Policy joins with the Stanford Genetics and Genomics Program and Stanford Cancer Center to raise awareness of FAP and AFAP. California residents are encouraged to gather their family health history, and share this information with their health care provider for early screening and prevention of cancers associated with these conditions; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate of the State of California, the Assembly thereof concurring, That the Legislature hereby proclaims the week of June 16, to June 22, 2025, inclusive, as Familial Adenomatous Polyposis Awareness Week in California; and be it further.
Resolved, That the Secretary of the Senate transmit copies of this resolution to the author for appropriate distribution.
