CLEVELAND — President Joe Biden has relaunched the White House’s Cancer Moonshot initiative. It’s a commitment to reducing cancer’s death rate by 50% in 25 years, and Northeast Ohio leaders in the fight against cancer say this comes at a time when a great"reset" is needed.Dr. Ted Teknos is the president of University Hospitals’ Seidman Cancer Center.
"The earlier we catch cancers, the more likely we are to cure them,” he said. “Because of the COVID pandemic, 9.5 million screening exams went unfilled. That is going to result in about 10,000 additional cancer deaths over the course of the next decade or so, so this really has been a public health disaster for the cancer community, and I see it in my own practice."
"Folks are coming in with much more advanced tumors, at a much less curable state. So they really, really want to put together an all hands on deck effort to actually implement a lot of screening and lifesaving measures that one can do even before therapy," said Chan. Other goals, according to the White House, include increasing equitable access to screening and treatment, recognizing disparities and improving the care provided to patients after they’ve overcome their fight with cancer.“The fact that we backslid for the last two years, in terms of public health responses to cancer, this is the perfect reset moment. You know, really ramp up our screenings, ramp up prevention efforts and then really invest in brilliant discoveries,” Teknos said.
