One of the areas targeted by the Biden Cancer Moonshot initiative is the expansion of preventive cancer care.
New Orleans, Louisiana —President Biden and first lady Jill Biden are traveling to New Orleans Tuesday to tout the Biden Cancer Moonshot initiative, a week after the Department of Health and Human Services awarded nearly $9 million to improve access to cancer screenings and follow-up treatments in underserved communities – part of the initiative's effort to expand preventive cancer care.
The president often speaks about how his own life has been affected by cancer after his son Beau Biden died from brain cancer in 2015 at the age of 46. One focus of the initiative is increasing engagement in cancer prevention by urging Americans to get cancer screenings that they missed during the pandemic. One study funded by the Cancer Moonshot is researching cancer detection blood tests as a less invasive tool for early detection of cancer.
