| To enact section 5.2266 of the Revised Code to | 1 |
| designate October 6 as "Triple Negative Breast | 2 |
| Cancer Awareness Day." | 3 |
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:
| Section 1. That section 5.2266 of the Revised Code be enacted | 4 |
| to read as follows: | 5 |
| Sec. 5.2266. The sixth day of October is designated as | 6 |
| "Triple Negative Breast Cancer Awareness Day" to raise public | 7 |
| awareness and understanding of this subtype of breast cancer that | 8 |
| is diagnosed as such because of its lack of the three receptors | 9 |
| that fuel most breast cancers: estrogen receptors, progesterone | 10 |
| receptors, and the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, or | 11 |
| HER2. As a result of its triple-negative status, triple negative | 12 |
| breast cancer generally does not respond to the receptor-targeted | 13 |
| treatments that are successful in treating other subtypes of | 14 |
| breast cancer. | 15 |
