This resolution brings attention to chordoma, a rare and aggressive bone cancer that grows in the skull and spine. It affects about 300 people in the United States every year and can strike people of any age.
Because these tumors grow near the brain and spinal cord, they are very hard for doctors to treat. Even with the best surgery and radiation, the cancer often returns, and there are currently no medicines that can cure it.
The proposal, introduced by Representative Johnson of Georgia, states that the House of Representatives should support more funding for medical research. The goal is to help patients get diagnosed sooner and to create new drugs that can effectively stop the disease.
