Designation of National Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Day

The U.S. House of Representatives supports designating March 3, 2025, as National Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Day. This aims to raise awareness about this aggressive form of cancer, which disproportionately affects young, Black, and Hispanic women, and to emphasize the need for strong action to eradicate it.
Key points
The designation of this awareness day seeks to educate the public about triple-negative breast cancer, which accounts for 10-15% of all breast cancer diagnoses.
It highlights that this cancer is more aggressive and responsible for about 25% of all breast cancer deaths in the U.S., encouraging further research and patient support.
