 IV  119th CONGRESS  2d Session  H. RES. 1098  IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES   March 3, 2026   Mr. Morelle  (for himself,  Mr. Bacon ,  Mr. Tonko ,  Mr. Gottheimer , and  Ms. Norton ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the  Committee on Oversight and Government Reform    RESOLUTION
Expressing support for the designation of March 3, 2026, 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, 2026, would be an appropriate date to designate as  National Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Day : Now, therefore, be it
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.
