Cancer HealthCast with the National Cancer Institute on Cancer Care Innovation
Cancer care is entering a new era.
Following the 50th anniversary of the National Cancer Act, the White House has put cancer back on the map with a re-imagined Cancer Moonshot initiative aiming to reduce the cancer death rate by half within 25 years. Following this top-level vision, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) collaborated with the National Cancer Institute to launch a National Cancer Plan — a nationwide strategy that calls for collaboration across all sectors to progress the fight against cancer.
Cancer HealthCast features discussions with the leadership behind the technology programs at NCI making a difference in the war on cancer.
