 RESOLUTION

Expressing support for the designation of March 3, 2025, as ``National 
 Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Day''.

Whereas triple-negative breast cancer was recognized as a distinct type of 
 cancer in 2006;
Whereas triple-negative breast cancer disproportionately affects young women, 
 Black and Hispanic women, and those with BRCA gene mutations;
Whereas triple-negative breast cancers are estrogen receptor-negative, 
 progesterone receptor-negative, and HER2-negative, making them distinct 
 from other breast cancers;
Whereas 10 to 15 percent of all breast cancer diagnoses are designated as 
 triple-negative;
Whereas triple-negative breast cancer can be more aggressive and more likely to 
 spread and recur;
Whereas triple-negative breast cancer accounts for around 25 percent of all 
 deaths from breast cancer in the United States; and
Whereas March 3, 2025, would be an appropriate date to designate as ``National 
 Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Day'': Now, therefore, be it
 Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports the 
designation of ``National Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Day'' to create 
awareness of the devastating effect of these cancers on families in the 
United States and the need for strong action to eradicate triple-
negative breast cancer.
