Pallone Statement on Vice President Biden’s Cancer Moonshot Report

Energy and Commerce Ranking Member Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ) issued the following statement today on Vice President Biden's Cancer Moonshot Report, which comes nine months after President Obama asked Vice President Biden to lead a national Cancer Moonshot focused on making a decade of progress in preventing, diagnosing, and treating cancer in five years, with the ultimate goal of ending cancer as we know it:

"Vice President Biden's Cancer Moonshot Report provides a blueprint to transform cancer treatment in America, and fulfilling the promise of this proposal will require a dedicated effort by Congress to provide the funding necessary to spur cancer treatment innovation. I look forward to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to ensure that the National Institutes of Health and the Food and Drug Administration have the resources necessary to launch the Cancer Moonshot."
