Congress is moving to name March 3, 2026, as a special day to focus on triple-negative breast cancer. This type of cancer is often harder to treat because it does not respond to the hormone therapies that work for many other types of breast cancer.
While this specific cancer makes up about 10% to 15% of all breast cancer cases, it causes about 25% of all breast cancer deaths. It is known for being more aggressive and is more likely to spread to other parts of the body or come back after treatment.
The resolution highlights that this disease hits certain groups harder, including younger women, Black and Hispanic women, and people with specific genetic mutations. The goal of the day is to help more people understand the disease and support the need for a cure.
