MD Anderson Cancer Center announces "Moon Shots Program"

"The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center is launching a multibillion-dollar initiative on Friday aimed at reducing cancer deaths over the next decade, saying a flurry of recent advances in genomics and other technologies has laid a foundation for making major new strides against the disease.

The effort, which the institution calls the Moon Shots program, is expected to spend as much as $3 billion over 10 years in a bid to reduce the toll of eight different cancers, and to develop an infrastructure and strategies for collecting and analyzing data that leaders of the effort say will be applied to other cancers as well."
