AI Summary
This resolution declares November 2025 as "Lung Cancer Awareness Month" in South Carolina, acknowledging the significant impact of lung cancer in the state. The resolution highlights that lung cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in South Carolina and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths, with the state's incidence and mortality rates exceeding national averages. It emphasizes that lung cancer can affect anyone, not just smokers, and can be caused by various factors such as radon exposure, secondhand smoke, asbestos, chemicals, radiation, air pollution, and genetic mutations. The resolution aims to raise awareness about lung cancer screening and biomarker testing as potential methods to reduce the state's lung cancer mortality rate. Additionally, the resolution requires that a copy be presented to Governor Henry McMaster, symbolizing the formal recognition of this awareness month by the South Carolina General Assembly.
