Biden discusses the many unknowns about cancer, of which there are over 200 types, and how he needs oncologists and cancer researchers to band together to address this. We’re at an inflection point, with more diverse knowledge and different approaches being applied than ever before. But “we need open data, open collaboration and open minds”.
