Raising awareness for the sarcoma cancer chordoma.

Chordoma is a rare and aggressive bone cancer that forms in the skull and spine, affecting about 25,000 people worldwide with roughly 300 new diagnoses each year in the U.S. Surgery and radiation can help some patients, but the tumor often comes back and there are no drugs known to cure or effectively control it. This resolution calls on the House to support increased funding for early diagnosis, new treatments, and patient-centered approaches to drug development for chordoma. It doesn't create any new programs or funding — it's a statement of priorities urging more attention and resources for this disease.
