Former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has spread to his bones, bringing attention to his past efforts through the Cancer Moonshot initiative. Leading this initiative stemmed from personal loss, having lost his son Beau to brain cancer. This situation opens reflections on how cancer care has evolved, recognizing that it is a continuous journey for patients, who now often live long-term with cancer, emphasizing the need for ongoing support beyond mere treatments.
Biden’s diagnosis is particularly poignant given his history with cancer, having launched the Cancer Moonshot initiative to improve cancer research after personally facing tragedies.
Reflecting on cancer care, we recognize that it’s a continuous journey, not merely a series of treatments, as patients now live longer with chronic cancer conditions.
