Expressing support for designation of March 3, 2020, as National Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Day.

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

March 3, 2020

Mr. Morelle submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Oversight and Reform

RESOLUTION

Expressing support for designation of March 3, 2020, 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 there is no targeted therapy for triple-negative breast cancers;

    Whereas 10 to 20 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, 2020, 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 American families and the need for strong action to eradicate triple-negative breast cancer.
