Biden Announces $150M for Cancer Research in New Orleans

The funding aims to advance surgical technology and halve cancer deaths by 2047, a key focus of Biden's remaining tenure.

Biden's 'Cancer Moonshot' program will distribute funds to eight major universities, including Tulane.
The initiative seeks to improve tumor removal techniques and reduce the need for follow-up surgeries.
Biden's personal connection to cancer, through the loss of his son Beau, drives the program's urgency.
The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) has already allocated over $400 million since its relaunch.
Cancer remains the second leading cause of death in the U.S., with 2 million new cases expected this year.
