Triple-negative breast cancer is a particularly aggressive form of breast cancer that was only recognized as a distinct type in 2006, making up 10 to 15 percent of all breast cancer diagnoses. It disproportionately affects young women, Black and Hispanic women, and those with BRCA gene mutations, and it accounts for about 25 percent of all breast cancer deaths in the U.S. This resolution supports designating March 3, 2025, as National Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Day to raise awareness of the disease and the need for stronger action to fight it.
Congressional Summary
This resolution expresses support for the designation of National Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Day. Triple-negative breast cancer is a distinct form of cancer that does not have the hormone and protein receptors commonly found in breast cancer.
