Mr. Burgess submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was
referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that Congress
should devote resources to researching treatment options for women with
ovarian cancer and support community groups that promote awareness
about the disease and encourage early diagnosis.
Whereas the American Cancer Society predicts that 14,300 women will die of
ovarian cancer and 25,400 new cases of the disease will be diagnosed in
2003;
Whereas among women in the United States ovarian cancer is the the 7th most
common cancer and the 5th most common fatal cancer;
Whereas ovarian cancer kills 5 percent of all women who die from cancer, a death
toll higher than any other gynecological cancer;
Whereas ovarian cancer occurs in the United States with the same frequency as it
did in 1973, but the mortality rate for women diagnosed with ovarian
cancer has decreased by about 12 percent due to increased awareness and
groundbreaking medical research;
Whereas most cases of ovarian cancer occur in women over the age of 50;
Whereas in a majority of women diagnosed with ovarian cancer, the cancer is only
detected after it has spread, which significantly reduces survival
rates;
Whereas organizations such as the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition and its
state and local chapters work everyday to improve the lives of women
affected by ovarian cancer;
Whereas the Federal government devotes millions of dollars annually to research
increasingly successful treatment regimens and diagnostic tools to
detect ovarian cancer in its early stages; and
Whereas President George W. Bush declared September 2002 as National Ovarian
Cancer Awareness Month to raise awareness about this disease and
encourage women to undergo regular health screenings: Now, therefore, be
it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),
That it is the sense of Congress that--
(1) Congress should continue to devote resources to
researching diagnostic tools and methods and treatments for
ovarian cancer; and
(2) Congress should support community groups that raise
awareness about ovarian cancer in their work to improve the
lives of women affected by ovarian cancer.
