Immediately upon being elected, U.S. President Joe Biden had a task to solve. Amidst taking a hold on the virus, he, however, did not forget about a health issue he’d previously been involved in. In his first major address to Congress this April, Biden asked lawmakers to help him “end cancer as we know it.” The U.S.’s ambition to stop cancer deaths began with the project Moonshot Biden was responsible for under the presidency of Barack Obama.

Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide; every 6th death is caused by a form of the disease. It poses a physical, emotional and financial burden on individuals, families, societies and governments.
