H.R. No. 422
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The week of May 1-7, 2005, has been designated as
Brain Tumor Action Week by the North American Brain Tumor
Coalition, and this occasion draws much-needed attention to the
human cost of brain tumors; and
WHEREAS, More than 200,000 people in North America are
diagnosed with brain tumors each year, and brain tumors are now the
leading cause of solid-tumor cancer death in children and are the
third leading cause of cancer death in young adults; and
WHEREAS, Because there are more than 120 different types of
brain tumors, effective treatment can be difficult, and it is made
more so by the delicate position of the tumors at the body's center
of thought, emotion, and movement; and
WHEREAS, Enhancing the quality of life of people with brain
tumors requires access to high-quality specialty care, clinical
trials, follow-up care, and rehabilitative services; and
WHEREAS, The dedicated health professionals who seek to treat
brain tumors require complete and accurate data on the nature of
this devastating malady, and public awareness of this pressing
issue is essential to garner support for desperately needed
research; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas
Legislature hereby recognize May 1-7, 2005, as Brain Tumor Action
Week and extend to all those associated with this endeavor sincere
best wishes for success in their worthwhile efforts.
