Expressing support for the designation of March 3, 2025, as "National Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Day".

Sponsored By: Representative Morelle, Joseph D. [D-NY-25]

Introduced

Summary

Would designate March 3, 2025 as National Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Day to raise awareness of triple-negative breast cancer. The resolution notes TNBC was recognized as a distinct type in 2006 and that TNBC tumors are estrogen receptor negative, progesterone receptor negative, and HER2 negative. It says TNBC makes up about 10 to 15 percent of breast cancer diagnoses, can be more aggressive and more likely to spread or recur, and accounts for around 25 percent of U.S. breast cancer deaths. The text highlights the disproportionate impact on young women, Black and Hispanic women, and people with BRCA gene mutations and urges strong action to address the disease's toll on families.
