PREPARED BY: City Clerk
AGENDA ITEM lBe2
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Mayor Chandler will present a proclamation proclaiming November as
"Lung Cancer Awareness Month" in the City of Lodi.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month. Lung cancer is the
deadliest cancer in the United States, but it has been shown that lung
cancer screening significantly reduces mortality as it can help to diagnose
the disease earlier. However, only 5.7% of high-risk individuals are currently getting screened, which means
thousands of lives are lost every year simply due to lack of awareness. Lung Cancer Awareness Month
highlights the need for research, screening, and public awareness of the disease.
