Whereas 1 in every 330 Americans develops cancer before age 
20; 
Whereas approximately 8 percent of deaths of those between 
1 and 19 years old are caused by cancer; 
Whereas while some progress has been made, a number of 
opportunities for childhood cancer research still remain 
unfunded or underfunded; 
Whereas limited resources for childhood cancer research can 
hinder the recruitment of investigators and physicians to 
pediatric oncology; 
Whereas peer-reviewed clinical trials are the standard of care 
for pediatrics and have improved cancer survival rates

Whereas the number of survivors of childhood cancers con-

Whereas up to two-thirds of childhood cancer survivors are 
likely to experience at least one late effect from treat-
ment, many of which may be life-threatening; 
Whereas some late effects of cancer treatment are identified 
early in follow-up and are easily resolved, while others 
may become chronic problems in adulthood and may have 
serious consequences; and 
Whereas 89 percent of children with cancer experience sub-
stantial suffering in the last month of life: Now, there-
fore, be it 
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Represent-
atives that the Congress should support— 
(1) public and private sector efforts to promote 
awareness about the incidence of cancer among children, 
the signs and symptoms of cancer in children, treatment 
options, and long-term follow-up; 
(2) increased public and private investment in child-
hood cancer research to improve prevention, diagnosis, 
treatment, rehabilitation, post-treatment monitoring, and 
long-term survival; 
(3) policies that provide incentives to encourage 
medical trainees and investigators to enter the field of 
pediatric oncology;
•HRES 470 EH 
(4) policies that provide incentives to encourage the 
development of drugs and biologics designed to treat pe-
