A resolution passed by the state House of Representatives seeks to raise awareness about bladder cancer.
Rep. Robert Freeman (from eastern PA)- who sponsored the resolution- says roughly 4,200 Pennsylvanians will be diagnosed with bladder cancer just this year.
Freeman believes a lack of awareness- both in the general public and the medical community- has limited research advancements for the disease. Over 500,000 million PA residents are currently living with bladder cancer, according to data.
May will officially be recognized as Bladder Cancer Awareness Month in Pennsylvania.
