RESOLUTION

Expressing support for the designation of March 3, 2026, as “National Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Day”.

Whereas triple-negative breast cancer was recognized as a distinct type of cancer in 2006; Whereas triple-negative breast cancer disproportionately affects young women, Black and Hispanic women, and those with BRCA gene mutations; Whereas triple-negative breast cancers are estrogen receptor-negative, progesterone receptor-negative, and HER2-negative, making them distinct from other breast cancers; Whereas 10 to 15 percent of all breast cancer diagnoses are designated as triple-negative; Whereas triple-negative breast cancer can be more aggressive and more likely to spread and recur; Whereas triple-negative breast cancer accounts for around 25 percent of all deaths from breast cancer in the United States; and Whereas March 3, 2026, would be an appropriate date to designate as “National Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Day”: Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports the designation of “National Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Day” to create awareness of the devastating effect of these cancers on families in the United States and the need for strong action to eradicate triple- negative breast cancer. <all>
