This House resolution expresses support for designating March 3, 2025, as "National Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Day." The text says triple-negative breast cancer was recognized in 2006. It describes triple-negative tumors as estrogen receptor-negative, progesterone receptor-negative, and HER2-negative. The resolution cites that 10 to 15 percent of breast cancer diagnoses are triple-negative, that these cancers can be more aggressive and more likely to spread and recur, and that they account for around 25 percent of U.S. breast cancer deaths. The resolution was introduced by Representative Joseph Morelle and referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
The resolution expresses the House's support for creating a named day—March 3, 2025—to raise awareness of triple-negative breast cancer and its effects on families. It highlights groups the resolution says are disproportionately affected, including young women, Black and Hispanic women, and people with BRCA mutations.
