A key priority for the #BidenCancerMoonshot is increasing access to cancer screenings for more Americans – to help catch cancer early, when outcomes are best. This new network is a promising step in achieving this goal, evaluating new technologies transforming cancer screening.

Two years ago today, @POTUS and @FLOTUS convened the cancer community in the East Room of the White House and committed to supercharge the #BidenCancerMoonshot.

Since then, we have made incredible progress — and together, we will end cancer as we know it.

Two years ago today, @POTUS and @FLOTUS reignited the #CancerMoonshot to make progress against a disease that affects almost each and every one of us, not just here in the U.S. but around the globe.

Recognizing #CervicalCancer Awareness Month, today’s White House #BidenCancerMoonshot forum energized momentum from all sectors to the mission of reducing the impact of cervical cancer through screening, prevention incl. boosting HPV vaccination & improving equity and outcomes

[Rebecca Kortum @kortum]

Cervical cancer kills women. >300,000/yr. Women deserve more!Cervical Cancer is Preventable Treatable & Curable. We need better tools delivered with equity to women everywhere @BidenCancer @kmschmeler @KKundrod

[Danielle Carnival Archived @DCarnival46]

Cervical Cancer impacts many Americans lives and many more around the globe, with more than 600,000 new cases reported each year. @theNCI's new clinical trial on self-collection HPV testing is a crucial step in early detection to decrease inequities and improve patient outcomes.

Excited that @rice360glht, with Baylor College of Medicine & the UT MD Anderson Cancer Center, will join POCTRN to improve early cancer diagnosis around the world, including the US, Brazil, and Mozambique! https://t.co/X3tVY0vRB5 @bcmglobalhealth @MDAndersonNews @RiceUniversity

My latest for @ChemistryWorld: A new point-of-care assay to detect HPV DNA requires just 6 user steps, gives results in <45 min and costs <$5 per test. Its developers hope it can fill a critical gap in resource-limited settings where HPV rates are highest.

Starting tomorrow through July 30th, submit your input to help the development of this framework and push forward progress on bringing effective smoking cessation treatment to every person in America who wants it. https://t.co/4fvUbpVXLw

[Danielle Carnival Archived @DCarnival46]

The Biden-Harris Administration is delivering on @POTUS #CancerMoonshot commitment to help people avoid starting smoking and support Americans who want to quit. These steps could prevent 30 percent of cancer deaths in this country, saving up to 130,000 American lives, annually.

It was an honor to share the @whostp #CancerMoonshot goals around prevention, early detection, and innovation during this #PreventCancerDialogue! @preventcancer

[Prevent Cancer Foundation @preventcancer]

"We know we cannot achieve the goals of the Cancer Moonshot without a strong focus on cancer prevention and early detection."

We couldn't agree more, @KKundrod. 👏👏👏 With this mindset, the future is bright for cancer #prevention & #earlydetection! #PreventCancerDialogue

Don't miss this week's new issue of #ScienceTranslationalMedicine! 

A point-of-care HPV test may assist cervical cancer screening in low-resource settings, an automated belt allows scientists to easily study hormone dynamics in people, and more. https://t.co/NVNU8Yi7qN

[Science Translational Medicine @ScienceTM]

A #PointOfCare test for #HPV avoids the need for expensive equipment and may offer an affordable tool for #CervicalCancer screening in low-resource settings, shows a study involving samples from the U.S. and Mozambique. @kortum @KKundrod @uemmoz @Rice_BIOE https://t.co/zoikmXRK3b

Our NEW paper presents a sample-to-answer NATflow HPV DNA test designed to meet the global need for low-cost cervical cancer screening at the point-of-care in low-resource settings. #Axxin NATflow https://t.co/YdO4514Cqc. (1/6)

Super proud that this is out in the world!

I love the national celebrations of #Juneteenth, but I always try to emphasize the fact that emancipation was a process rather than a single event. Gordon Granger's arrival in Galveston, Texas was a joyous, beautiful moment in that complex process. a thread...

We will continue fighting to make sure that Americans facing health issues, including those with cancer, have much needed breathing room and peace of mind while they access the best treatments for them and can get back to their lives and families.

Cigarette smoking causes nearly 1 in 3 cancer deaths in the U.S. each year. Yesterday’s #CancerMoonshot forum focused on the progress & opportunities in the mission to save, extend, and improve lives affected by the harmful impacts of smoking through supporting individuals.
