Research Ethics Considerations Regarding the Cancer Moonshot Initiative

Marilyn J Hammer. Oncol Nurs Forum. .

Abstract

If the Precision Medicine Initiative was the launching pad, the Cancer Moonshot Initiative is the liftoff. A billion-dollar mission to "eliminate cancer as we know it," the Cancer Moonshot Initiative underscores the Precision Medicine Initiative's near-term focus in oncology research and translation. Spearheaded by Vice President Biden, the goal is to condense a decade of research into actionable results within five years.

Keywords: biology of cancer; comorbidities; ethics; genetics.
