Familial Adenomatous Polyposis Awareness Week.

California Senate Concurrent Resolution 73 (SCR 73) declared the week of June 16 to June 22, 2025, as Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP) Awareness Week in California. FAP is a hereditary condition that leads to numerous polyps in the colon and rectum, significantly increasing the risk of colorectal cancer. The resolution aimed to raise awareness about FAP and its variant, Attenuated Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (AFAP), encouraging Californians to discuss their family health history with healthcare providers for early screening and prevention. The Stanford University Department of Health Policy, along with the Stanford Genetics and Genomics Program and Stanford Cancer Center, collaborated to promote this awareness.
