Raising awareness for the sarcoma cancer chordoma.

This symbolic resolution (HRES 172) calls for increased awareness and support for chordoma, a rare bone cancer affecting the skull and spine that impacts over 25,000 people globally and about 300 in the U.S. annually. It urges greater funding for accurate diagnosis, new treatments, faster research-to-treatment pathways, and patient-focused drug development. The resolution does not allocate funds or create new laws but formally expresses the House’s support for addressing chordoma’s challenges. It directly affects chordoma patients, families, and researchers seeking improved care options.
