President Biden relaunched the White House's "Cancer Moonshot" initiative. He says he is committing the nation to working toward reducing the death rate from cancer by at least 50% over the next 25 years. Cancer death rates have dropped in recent years; however, pre-pandemic cancer was the second leading cause of death, after heart disease, in the United States.
Guest: Dr. Bill Putnam, medical director of Baptist MD Anderson Cancer Center.
