Bill > HRes182

This resolution expresses support for designating March 3, 2025, as "National Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Day" to raise awareness about a specific type of breast cancer first recognized in 2006. Triple-negative breast cancer is characterized by cancer cells that test negative for estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors, and HER2 protein, which makes them more challenging to treat. The resolution highlights that this type of cancer disproportionately affects young women, Black and Hispanic women, and individuals with BRCA gene mutations, and represents 10 to 15 percent of breast cancer diagnoses. The resolution emphasizes that triple-negative breast cancer can be more aggressive, is more likely to spread and recur, and accounts for approximately 25 percent of breast cancer deaths in the United States. By supporting this designated day, the House of Representatives aims to create awareness about the devastating impact of these cancers on families and underscore the urgent need for research and action to eradicate triple-negative breast cancer.
