WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today on World Cancer Day, Rep. Fred Upton (R-St. Joseph) announced he is relaunching the Congressional Caucus on the Deadliest Cancers with Rep. Anna G. Eshoo (D-CA).
“The prevention, treatment, and ultimately curing of the deadliest cancers requires an all-hands-on-deck effort to not only educate, but innovate new cures and treatments. We have the technology at our hands to make the impossible, possible,” said Upton. “The Cancer Moonshot Initiative was a defining feature of 21st Century Cures, a bill coauthored with my colleague Rep. Diana DeGette that was signed into law in 2016 and paved the way for monumental medical breakthroughs. I am proud to relaunch the Congressional Caucus on the Deadliest Cancers with Representative Anna Eshoo today, on World Cancer Day, as we continue to find a cure for these terrible diseases.” ### |
