HRES 172 United States House · 118th Congress

Expressing support for designation of March 3, 2023, as "National Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Day".

This resolution expresses the House's support for designating March 3, 2023, as "National Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Day." It aims to raise awareness about triple-negative breast cancer, which disproportionately affects young women, Black and Hispanic women, and those with BRCA mutations, and accounts for a significant portion of breast cancer deaths. The resolution highlights that this aggressive cancer type lacks targeted therapies and is distinct from other breast cancers due to its receptor-negative characteristics. As a non-binding awareness measure, it does not create new policies or alter existing laws.
