Congressman Murphy marks May as Bladder Cancer Awareness Month
Washington, D.C. (WNCT) — Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D., is recognizing May as Bladder Cancer Awareness Month.
'While most bladder cancers are caught early, it can be a terrible disease that takes many innocent lives,' Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D., said. 'As a urologist of over 30 years, I have treated many patients suffering from this cancer and appreciate the valuable breakthroughs in treatment we have made. This disease can impact anyone, and I am honored to recognize May as Bladder Cancer Awareness Month.'
More than 800,000 families in the U.S. live with bladder cancer, with it being among the top 7 most commonly diagnosed cancers in the U.S.
'We are grateful to Congressman Murphy, his staff and the resolution's co-sponsors for expressing support to designate May as National Bladder Cancer Awareness Month,' CEO of the Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network, Meri-Margaret Deoudes said. 'Their efforts will help increase public awareness, promote early diagnoses and will help save lives.'
