LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


HR 65, as introduced, Kiley.
WHEREAS, There are over 15,000 Americans who develop a sarcoma every year; and
WHEREAS, We lose thousands of citizens every year who were suffering from this horrible cancer; and
WHEREAS, There are two major subform groups of sarcomas that affect its victims, primary bone growth and soft tissue sarcomas, which affect vastly different groups of people; and
WHEREAS, Bone growth sarcomas primarily effect teenagers from 15 to 19 years of age, inclusive; and
WHEREAS, Soft tissue sarcomas are found primarily in adults over 30 years of age, although there are different forms that affect younger children; and
WHEREAS, Sarcomas can affect all people, no matter the race, age, gender, or social status; and
WHEREAS, There are 10 different types of soft tissue sarcomas, which develop in blood vessels, fats, muscles, nerves, and tendons; and
WHEREAS, Primary bone growth sarcomas, including osteosarcomas and Ewing sarcomas, start directly in the bones then spread outward from there; and
WHEREAS, Physical examination, different imaging methods, and biopsy are needed to diagnose the various forms of sarcoma; and
WHEREAS, Chemotherapy, radiation, and other therapy with surgery can help stunt the growth of the cancer; and
WHEREAS, July is recognized as Sarcoma Awareness Month; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Assembly of the State of California, That further awareness is needed of sarcomas and the effects they have on victims and their families; and be it further
Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly transmit copies of this resolution to the author for appropriate distribution.
