Vice President Joe Biden and Dr. Jill Biden announce their new venture to make progress in cancer prevention, detection, treatment, and care

The Biden Cancer Initiative mission is to develop and drive implementation of solutions to accelerate progress in cancer prevention, detection, diagnosis, research and care, and to reduce disparities in cancer outcomes.

Through the Biden Cancer Initiative (BCI), Vice President and Dr. Biden will inject a sense of urgency into our cancer research and care enterprise and reimagine how the government, academia, non-profits and the private sector can better organize their resources and systems to collaborate to take on cancer, with the patient as the focus. The BCI will be a major convening force in driving new actions and collaborations toward ending cancer as we know it.

The Initiative will work closely with patients and patient organizations, cancer researchers, cancer hospitals and community health centers, research universities, governments and the private and philanthropic sectors to identify and address the critical issues in cancer prevention, research and care to achieve these goals.
