The goal of the cancer moonshot is to cut the cancer death rate in half by 2047, as nearly 2 million Americans are diagnosed with cancer each year. &#8220;We\u2019re moving quickly because we know all families affected by cancer are racing against time,&#8221; Biden stated, emphasizing the initiative&#8217;s aim to eradicate cancer as we currently understand it and potentially find cures for certain types of cancer. This initiative was launched during his vice presidency following the death of his son Beau from aggressive brain cancer in 2015. Prior to his speech, he visited Tulane University\u2019s business school for a demonstration on cancer research; he had previously been there in 2016 to kick off this initiative. Jill Biden shared their personal experience: \u201cWhen Joe and I lost our son to brain cancer, we decided to turn our pain into purpose,\u201d aiming to assist families facing similar losses. President Biden expressed that one of his objectives is not only funding research but also ensuring that discoveries are widely disseminated for progress. He envisioned a future where surgeries could completely remove tumors without damaging healthy cells, contrasting it with today&#8217;s complex procedures that challenge even top surgeons and impact families significantly. He promised more funding announcements soon while highlighting that ongoing research could lead to significant advancements: \u201cToday, we\u2019re announcing $150 million ARPA-H funding for some of the nation\u2019s cutting-edge cancer resources,\u201d including those at Tulane University<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2635,"featured_media":2324090,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Biden-cancer-moonshot.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[3620,38074,6513,4606,38075],"class_list":["post-2324089","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-biden","tag-cancer-research","tag-funding","tag-healthcare","tag-moonshot-initiative"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Biden-cancer-moonshot.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2324089","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2635"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2324089"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2324089\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2324090"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2324089"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2324089"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2324089"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
