This is episode 76, “Achieving the Cancer Moonshot in 10 Years.”
My guest, Diljeet Singh, MD, is board certified in OB/GYN and Gynecologic Oncology. She also has an MPH in Maternal & Child Health and a Ph.D. in Health Services Research. Dr. Singh currently practices in the Washington D.C. metro area.
In February of this year, Pres. Biden released his plan for a “Cancer Moonshot.” His goals are to reduce the cancer death rate by 50 percent within 25 years and to “improve the experience of people and their families living with and surviving cancer— and, by doing this and more, end cancer as we know it today.”
Dr. Singh explains how we could accomplish those goals within 10 years with what we know today.
Do not miss this episode as Dr. Singh explains how current knowledge and Medicare for All would allow us to achieve the goals of the Cancer Moonshot within 10 years.
