Continuing work started when he was vice president, President Joe Biden announced today<\/a> the White House is relaunching a cancer \u201cmoonshot\u201d \u2014 aiming to \u201cend cancer as we know it today.\u201d <\/p>\n

The ambitious effort has two main goals: to reduce the cancer death rate by 50 percent over the next 25 years and to improve the lives of people with cancer and their families. Biden\u2019s son, Beau, died in 2015 at age 46 from brain cancer. <\/p>\n

The White House announcement points to a few strategies to meet those goals, like diagnosing cancer sooner. President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden will encourage people to get regular cancer screenings, the White House will push for more access to home screenings, and federal agencies will work to develop tests that can screen for multiple cancers at once. The effort will also look into ways to prevent cancer, like reducing environmental exposures to cancer-causing pollutants, and accelerating research efforts that use mRNA technology<\/a> to push the immune system to attack cancer cells. <\/p>\n

Biden\u2019s announcement also referenced the administration\u2019s proposed Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health<\/a>, which could accelerate research on disease detection and treatment. The federal Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy, formed in 2009, funds energy research and has helped advance work on clean energy technology. <\/p>\n

The announcement, though, didn\u2019t include many details on funding for these efforts. There are two years of funding left from Biden\u2019s moonshot effort as vice president \u2014 Congress gave $1.8 million to that program in 2016, set to be used over seven years. But it\u2019ll take more investment to meet the stated goals of the new initiatives, which concerns some cancer advocates. \u201cWe need to make sure there\u2019s funding available to develop the new technologies and implement them,\u201d Margaret Foti, chief executive officer of the American Association for Cancer Research, told The Washington Post<\/em><\/a>. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
