See the additional summaries of this bill in the Prostate Cancer Detection/Screening Programs section, the Prostate Cancer Detection/Research and Prevention section, and the Testicular Cancer Detection/Screening Programs section.

Screening Programs

S.B. 5320 created the Prostate and Testicular Cancer Detection and Education Advisory Council ("Council") within the state Department of Health in New York to promote testicular cancer screening and detection among unserved or underserved populations, to educate the public about the benefits of early detection, and to provide counseling and referral services. The Council must advise the Commissioner of Health regarding the promotion of early detection of testicular cancer. The law requires the Council to provide specified reports to the legislature, Governor, and Commissioner of Health.
