Janis & Tanai at Display Table   Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death and accounts for more than 25% of all cancer deaths. Each year, more people die from lung cancer than breast, colon and prostate cancer combined. On November 2, the Georgia Cancer Center partnered with MCG's Oncology Interest Group and the White Ribbon Project to help raise awareness about lung cancer's risk, prevention opportunities, and treatment options. 

The Concerned National Black Nurses of the CSRA was there to participate in the activities by offering information and taking blood pressures, in addition to painting a wooden ribbon and listening to the panel discussion.
