H.Res. 1098 is a symbolic resolution expressing congressional support for designating March 3, 2026, as "National Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Day" to raise awareness about this aggressive form of breast cancer. Triple-negative breast cancer represents 10 to 15 percent of all breast cancer diagnoses but accounts for roughly 25 percent of breast cancer deaths, and it disproportionately affects young women, Black and Hispanic women, and those with BRCA gene mutations. The resolution highlights that triple-negative breast cancers lack three common receptors found in other breast cancers, making them more aggressive and likely to spread or recur. This resolution carries no direct funding, new government programs, or enforcement mechanisms—it is purely a statement of support to encourage awareness and action on this public health issue. The measure was submitted by Representative Morelle along with four other bipartisan cosponsors and was referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
