Biden relaunches Cancer Moonshot goal to cut US cancer death rate by 50% in 25 years

President Biden relaunches the Cancer Moonshot, setting a new national goal to cut the cancer death rate by at least 50% over the next 25 years, saving over 4 million lives, and improve the experience of living with cancer. Biden connects the initiative personally to the death of his son Beau from brain cancer in 2015. The administration commits to ending siloed research, increasing cancer screenings, addressing cancer disparities affecting minority communities, and making new treatments more accessible and affordable. The Cancer Moonshot is backed by ARPA-H, new clinical trial requirements, FDA drug approval reforms, and a renewed focus on preventing cancer before it starts by reducing exposure to known carcinogens like PFAS.
