Today, the Biden Cancer Moonshot convened a gathering of leaders and advocates to highlight progress in the fight against cancer. The initiative, a key priority for the Biden-Harris Administration, seeks to "end cancer as we know it." The event marked the release of "The Biden Cancer Moonshot: Ending Cancer As We Know It" report and celebrated President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden's leadership in this effort.
The administration has taken a comprehensive approach through the Cancer Cabinet to collaborate on initiatives aimed at preventing, detecting, treating, and surviving cancer. Some significant achievements include protecting Americans from PFAS chemicals, recovering from missed cancer screenings due to COVID-19, establishing ARPA-H for research innovations, and offering reimbursable navigation services.
Recent announcements included several new actions:
The FDA proposed a rule to limit nicotine levels in tobacco products. This aims to make these products minimally addictive and reduce tobacco-related diseases. "This rule puts the power back in the hands of individuals," said an official statement.
