,,resolution  ,expressing support for

,whereas sarcoma is a rare cancer of the

nerves1 muscles1 joints1 fat1 and blood 
vessels1 that can arise nearly anywhere 
in the body2 ,whereas1 in the ,united   
,states-- 7#a7 about #af1jjj individuals
 are diagnosed with sarcoma each year2  
7#b7 approximately #g1jjj individuals   
die from sarcoma each year2 and  7#c7   
about #ej1jjj individuals struggle with 
sarcoma at any #a time2 ,whereas1 each  
year1 about #a percent of cancers       
diagnosed in adults and around #bj      
percent of cancers diagnosed in children
 are sarcoma2 ,whereas more than #gj    

subtypes of sarcoma have been           
identified2 ,whereas the potential      
causes of sarcoma are not well          
understood2 ,whereas treatment for      
sarcoma can include surgery1 radiation  
therapy1 or chemotherapy2 ,whereas      
sarcoma is often misdiagnosed and       
underreported2 and ,whereas ,july #bjbb 
would be an appropriate month to        
designate as ,national ,sarcoma         
,awareness ,month-- 7#a7 to raise       
awareness about sarcoma2 and  7#b7 to   
encourage more individuals in the       
,united ,states to get properly         
diagnosed and treated3 ,now1 therefore1 
be it  ,that the ,senate supports the   
designation of ,july #bjbb as ,national 
,sarcoma ,awareness ,month4
