Expressing support for the designation of July 2025 as ``National
Sarcoma Awareness Month''.

_______________________________________________________________________

IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

June 24, 2025

Mr. Johnson submitted the following resolution; which was considered
and agreed to

_______________________________________________________________________

RESOLUTION

Expressing support for the designation of July 2025 as ``National
Sarcoma Awareness Month''.

Whereas sarcoma is a rare cancer of the bones or connective tissues, such as
nerves, muscles, joints, fat, and blood vessels, that can arise nearly
anywhere in the body;
Whereas, in the United States--

(1) about 17,000 individuals are diagnosed with sarcoma each year;

(2) approximately 7,600 individuals die from sarcoma each year; and

(3) about 50,000 individuals struggle with sarcoma at any given time;

Whereas, each year, about 1 percent of cancers diagnosed in adults and around 15
percent of cancers diagnosed in children are sarcoma;
Whereas more than 70 subtypes of sarcoma have been identified;
Whereas the potential causes of sarcoma are not well understood;
Whereas treatment for sarcoma can include surgery, radiation therapy, or
chemotherapy;
Whereas sarcoma is often misdiagnosed and underreported; and
Whereas July 2025 would be an appropriate month to designate as National Sarcoma
Awareness Month--

(1) to raise awareness about sarcoma; and

(2) to encourage more individuals in the United States to get properly
diagnosed and treated: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved, That the Senate supports the designation of July 2025 as
``National Sarcoma Awareness Month''.
