Make children’s cancer research a ‘moonshot’ priority
April 14, 2016
“Cancer is the
leading disease-related cause of death in children in the United States. Yet
pediatric cancer is often left behind when it comes to funding research and
developing new drugs,” Dana-Farber/Boston Children’s President David A.
Williams, MD, writes in an opinion piece in Boston Globe Media’s Stat.” Not
only does this give short shrift to children with cancer, but it also threatens
to rob us of advances that could benefit cancer patients of all ages.”
