Directs Congress to recognize and record findings about chordoma, a rare bone cancer of the skull and spine. The text states chordoma is slow-growing yet aggressive, affects people of all ages with roughly 300 U.S. diagnoses per year and more than 25,000 worldwide, is difficult to treat because it involves critical structures and frequently recurs, and currently lacks drugs that reliably cure or control the disease.
