Key Points

This resolution asks for more federal support to help people with chordoma, a rare and aggressive type of bone cancer that grows in the skull and spine. About 300 people in the United States are diagnosed with this disease every year.
The proposal highlights that these tumors are very hard to treat because they grow near the brain and spinal cord. Even with surgery or radiation, the cancer often comes back, and there are currently no drugs that can cure it or keep it under control.
If passed, the resolution would show that the House of Representatives supports spending more money on early diagnosis and finding new cures. It also aims to make it easier for researchers to turn their discoveries into actual treatments for patients.
