FL S1982
Resolution
AI Summary
- Recognizes March 2022 as "Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Awareness Month" and March 3, 2022, as "Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Awareness Day" in Florida
- Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) accounts for 15–30% of all diagnosed invasive breast cancer cases nationwide, with more than 53,700 new cases diagnosed in the U.S. in 2019
- TNBC disproportionately affects younger women, Black and Hispanic women, women with type 2 diabetes, and those with BRCA1 mutations; patients with metastatic TNBC have less than a 30% chance of surviving 5 years after diagnosis
- Black women are 48% less likely than non-Hispanic white women to receive guideline-adherent care and face approximately twofold higher mortality from TNBC
- Calls for promoting TNBC education, raising awareness of disease-related disparities, and addressing inequities in access to screening, diagnostic testing, and care to improve early detection and survival
