                               RESOLUTION


 
  Expressing support for designation of July 17, 2010, as ``National 
                    Bladder Cancer Awareness Day''.

Whereas it is estimated that nearly 71,000 new cases of bladder cancer were 
        diagnosed in 2009;
Whereas bladder cancer has the highest recurrence rate of any form of cancer;
Whereas bladder cancer is nearly three times more likely to occur in men than in 
        women and is the fourth most common cancer diagnosed in men;
Whereas nearly 90 percent of people with bladder cancer are over the age of 55;
Whereas it is estimated that over 14,000 people in the United States died from 
        bladder cancer in 2009; and
Whereas July 17, 2010, would be an appropriate date to designate as ``National 
        Bladder Cancer Awareness Day'': Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports the 
designation of ``National Bladder Cancer Awareness Day''.
