‘We can get this done.’ U.S. ‘Cancer Moonshot’ takes flight

Summit hosts experts from UW Medicine, Fred Hutch, Seattle Children's

For the first time, America talked together Wednesday about ending cancer — from a Cancer Moonshot Summit at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center to hundreds of simultaneous gatherings in all 50 states on the “national day of action” to speed cures. 

At Fred Hutch in Seattle, an afternoon forum convened scientists, physicians and other top minds from UW Medicine, the Hutch, Seattle Cancer Care Alliance and Seattle Children’s to discuss how their combined research can save more lives and reduce more suffering.
