Abstract
Cancer Moonshot 2020: a new march of clinical and translational medicine
Highlights
The global scientific community is going to blast off to the Moon again with the clear aim to cure cancer 47 years after man first stepped onto the lunar surface
The Cancer Moonshot initiative delivers a number of opportunities and challenges, e.g., how can we integrate the Moonshot program with other anti-cancer strategies like clinical and translational medicine or precision medicine; how do we define focus points; how do we monitor progress along the “Moonshot” voyage?
A number of advanced biotechnologies in genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, systems biology, clinical bioinformatics and drug discovery have been translated into clinical practices and applications
Summary
The global scientific community is going to blast off to the Moon again with the clear aim to cure cancer 47 years after man first stepped onto the lunar surface. It is a new milestone and effort to re-unite scientific resources and experts, optimize therapeutic strategies and improve outcomes of patients with cancer. The Cancer Moonshot initiative delivers a number of opportunities and challenges, e.g., how can we integrate the Moonshot program with other anti-cancer strategies like clinical and translational medicine or precision medicine; how do we define focus points; how do we monitor progress along the “Moonshot” voyage?
