,awareness ,day4  ,whereas              
leiomyosarcoma is a malignant sarcoma   
subtype1 one of #gj to #ajj such        
subtypes1 that arises in smooth muscle  
and has several subtypes itself due to  
its vascularity and bone invasion2      
,whereas leiomyosarcoma is designated by
 the ,national ,institutes of ,health as
 a rare form of cancer2 ,whereas        
leiomyosarcoma is largely resistant to  
standard chemotherapy treatments1       
radiation treatments1 and immunotherapy 
trials1 with #dj-year-old chemotherapy  
treatments still in use2 ,whereas       
leiomyosarcoma affects all age groups1  
including children1 young adults1 the   
middle-aged1 and the elderly1 and all   

genders2 ,whereas leiomyosarcoma is     
diagnosed in more than #b1jjj           
individuals in the ,united ,states each 
year2 ,whereas1 with respect to         
leiomyosarcoma1 research and clinical   
trials remain complicated and extremely 
costly due to the difficulty of         
recruiting patients2 ,whereas survival  
and longevity for individuals with      
leiomyosarcoma has not significantly    
improved for at least #cj years2        
,whereas multidisciplinary care         
coordination teams1 because of their    
expertise and experience1 are critical  
to the health of leiomyosarcoma         
patients2 ,whereas researchers continue 
to strive to improve quality of life for
 leiomyosarcoma patients1 improve       
outcomes in clinical trials1 and promote
 enhanced survivorship2 and ,whereas    
increased education and awareness about 
sarcoma and leiomyosarcoma will         
contribute to the well-being of the     
communities of the ,united ,states3     
,now1 therefore1 be it ,that the        

,senate-- 7#a7 designates ,july #ae1    
#bjbc1 as ,national ,leiomyosarcoma     
,awareness ,day2  7#b7 recognizes the

patients2 and  7#c7 commends the
