Overview of the Biden Cancer Moonshot: On February 2, 2022, President Biden reignited the Cancer Moonshot and set new ambitious goals: to reduce the death rate from cancer by at least 50 percent by 2047, preventing over four million cancer deaths, and improve the experience of people and their families living with and surviving cancer. President Biden announced a whole-of-government response, including the formation of a Cancer Cabinet to be convened by the White House, bringing together departments, agencies, and White House components to address cancer on multiple fronts.
