"Dr. Biden had four girlfriends that were diagnosed with breast cancer in one year," said Rep. Speier, "This moonshot is really important for all of us because every one of us has someone in our family who’s struggling with cancer or died from cancer. And the goal is to actually reduce the amount of cancer by 50% in 25 years."
Dr. Biden is scheduled to meet with top cancer researchers at UCSF’s Hellen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center at 10:15 a.m. Friday. Dr. Ashworth says that technology and new immune therapies to attack cancer cells are providing hope that didn’t exist when the Bidens visited UCSF in 2016 during the nation’s previous cancer moonshot effort.
