Biden Presses Health Care Leaders To Expand The Battle Against Cancer

In speeches on the West Coast, the vice president says he will continue his campaign to find cures for the deadly disease and extolled young researchers to find new remedies through their "overwhelming skepticism for orthodoxy."

Vice President Joe Biden is outlining how he intends to pursue his 鈥渃ancer moonshot鈥 agenda after the end of the Obama administration. Biden says in a San Francisco speech that he will be starting an organization that may be called the Biden Cancer Initiative to make progress in changing the way the nation conducts cancer research and development and providing care to those with the disease.

With less than two weeks left in office, Vice President Joe Biden told health care leaders in San Francisco on Monday that he has 鈥済enuine reason for open optimism鈥 about the state of cancer research 鈥 a special cause to him since his son鈥檚 death in 2015. Biden has led the Cancer Moonshot Initiative since it was announced by President Obama last January in his final State of the Union address. (Allday, 1/9)
