On Jan. 12, 2016, a consortium of industry, government, and academia announced the launch of the Cancer MoonShot 2020, an ambitious program aiming to replace a long history of blunt trial-and-error treatment with what amounts to a training regiment for the body’s own immune system.

The Cancer Moonshot brings together a large community of patients, advocates, researchers, and clinicians who are dedicated to advancing research to end cancer as we know it.
