Vice President Joe Biden's National Cancer Moonshot is hosting a summit in Washington, D.C., on June 29 at Howard University, the Associated Press reported.
The White House also plans to organize regional summits on the same day across the country. The summits will congregate scientists, oncologists, donors and patients to discuss strategies for prevention, detection, access and data sharing, according to the report. It is the first cancer summit to focus broadly on the disease, rather than one specific form.
The list of attendees has not yet been announced, but the public will be able to partake in the summit online, according to the report.
