Bill > K00265

This resolution seeks to memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to officially proclaim November 10, 2025, as NET Cancer Day in New York State, with the goal of raising awareness about neuroendocrine (NET) cancers. The resolution highlights that NET cancers occur when neuroendocrine cells, which are present throughout the body and normally produce hormones to help bodily functions, begin to grow abnormally. It emphasizes the critical need for increased awareness, noting that 58% of patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage due to frequent misdiagnosis, and currently there is no cure for the majority of patients. The resolution aims to promote understanding of these cancers, support for patients, and the hope of achieving timely diagnosis, better treatment, and ultimately a cure. By asking the Governor to officially recognize NET Cancer Day, the legislative body seeks to draw attention to this serious health issue and encourage more local, state, and national efforts to address NET cancers.
