Bill > HRes732

This resolution expresses support for designating September 30, 2025, as "Rare Cancer Day" and highlights the significant challenges faced by rare cancer patients. The resolution notes that approximately 1 in 5 cancer patients in the United States has a rare cancer, and all pediatric cancers are considered rare, with these cancers accounting for a quarter of all cancer deaths annually. It emphasizes that rare cancer patients have lower survival rates due to difficulties in early detection and treatment, including patients' limited awareness of symptoms and healthcare providers' challenges in recognizing unusual symptoms. The resolution supports increasing awareness about rare cancer symptoms, encourages partnerships between medical and scientific fields to improve diagnosis and treatment, and calls for dedicated funding to explore potential cures. By recognizing the unique obstacles rare cancer patients face, the resolution aims to draw attention to the need for more research, better diagnostic techniques, and enhanced treatment options for these less common but critically important cancer types.
