- This action aims to help more people understand the disease because it is often misdiagnosed and affects about 18,000 Americans every year.
- While sarcoma makes up only 1 percent of adult cancers, it is much more common in younger patients and accounts for about 21 percent of all cancers found in children.
- The resolution encourages better diagnosis and treatment for the more than 236,000 people currently living with this condition in the United States.
