This House resolution supports designating March 3, 2026, as "National Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Day." The resolution states that triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) was recognized as a distinct type of cancer in 2006. It notes TNBC tumors are estrogen receptor-negative, progesterone receptor-negative, and HER2-negative. The text says 10 to 15 percent of breast cancer diagnoses are triple-negative, that TNBC can be more aggressive and more likely to spread and recur, and that it accounts for around 25 percent of U.S. breast cancer deaths. It also says TNBC disproportionately affects young women, Black and Hispanic women, and people with BRCA gene mutations. The resolution says the designated day would create awareness of the effect of these cancers on families and the need for strong action to eradicate TNBC.
The resolution expresses support for a national awareness day for triple-negative breast cancer. It aims to raise public awareness about the disease and to highlight a need for strong action. No publicly available information on programs, funding, or legal changes resulting from this resolution.
