President Biden has promised to cut the cancer death rate in half over the next 25 years and improve the experience of patients and families.

President Joe Biden initially launched the"Cancer Moonshot" initiative during his final years as vice president under Barack Obama.in half over the next 25 years and improve the experience of patients and families, "ending cancer as we know it."

Right now, effective treatments and early detection tools aren't reaching all patients who could benefit. Pioneering technologies could be advanced faster with better trial design, more collaboration and improved data collection. And people aren't making the lifestyle changes that could make as much difference in their cancer risk as quitting smoking has over the past quarter century.

David Arons, CEO of the National Brain Tumor Society, said he hopes the moonshot's extra attention will finally move the needle on cancers like brain tumors and pancreatic cancer that have seen no improvements in decades. Funding is needed for technological and medical advances, but also for spreading information, screening and treatments to more people, said Electra Paskett, the founding director of the Ohio State University Center for Cancer Health Equity.The timing is right for Biden's initiative because advances in recent years have deepened the understanding of cancer, from its genetics to the role of the immune system, said Dr.

Now, too often, people have to fight to get coverage at the hospitals that can best serve them, he said. Those hospitals also have the most access to clinical trials which can provide hope and extra time for patients who are otherwise out of options. Most other experts thought the immune system had nothing to do with cancer. But time has proven her right.

Türeci said Biden's initiative could make a profound difference in the future of cutting-edge research like hers, providing more funding at a key moment in the development and helping the public understand that harnessing the immune system offers the promise of helping to end cancer as we know it.

How about he quits with the BS about Covid Fauci and Gates making millions off the vaccine. With the “emergency authorization “. Which was concocted by suppressing the use of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. Fauci is a killer and should be prosecuted for his manipulated tests

Just how in hell can he do this in the next 25 years? Who is writing the speeches this guy is reading.

Old people are so out of touch

Cut the genocide deaths in our own USA cities! Give every American 18 and above $2000.00 per month retroactive since January 2020, if not any felonies. Help the homeless and the felons by providing private studios, and mental help.

Love Joe Biden but I'm a bit skeptical on this one. 🙄

Cancer moonshot is a project he worked on as VP. With all the technology and money we have in this wide world we must eradicate and find cures!
