Summary

This resolution expresses strong support for designating March 3, 2025, as "National Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Day" . The designation aims to significantly increase public awareness regarding the devastating effects of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) on families across the United States. The resolution highlights that TNBC, recognized as a distinct cancer type in 2006, disproportionately affects young women, Black and Hispanic women, and those with BRCA gene mutations. It notes that TNBC is an aggressive form of breast cancer, accounting for 10 to 15 percent of all diagnoses and approximately 25 percent of all breast cancer deaths in the U.S. By supporting this day, the House of Representatives underscores the critical need for robust action and research to eradicate this challenging disease.
