BY THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA
A PROCLAMATION
NET CANCER AWARENESS DAY
WHEREAS:
Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) often develop into cancer and, if left untreated, can result in serious illness and death; and
WHEREAS:
All too often healthcare professionals underestimate the malignant and metastatic potential of NETs; and
WHEREAS :
NET cancer patients are often misdiagnosed or receive a delayed diagnosis, which can have a negative impact on their chance of survival and quality of life. Survival for NET cancer patients is further compromised by fragmented care and lack of access to treatment by networks of specialists ; and
WHEREAS :
Although there have been advances in the detection and treatment of NET cancers, not all patients are benefiting from scientific and medical progress in the field; and
WHEREAS:
With timely diagnosis and proper treatment, NET cancer patie nts can have significantly improved outcomes and quality of life; now
THEREFORE:
I, NATHAN DEAL, Governor of the State of Georgia, do hereby proclaim November 10, 2011, as NET CANCER AWARENESS DAY in Georgia.
In witness thereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused t he Seal of the Executive Department to be affixed this 1st day of November in the year of our Lord two thousand eleven.
