CancerX: Reducing Burden And Disparities In Cancer Care

Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. Access, equity, and inclusion when developing and deploying new solutions to combat this disease remain paramount. The impact of cancer on people’s lives and their families is profound.

The White House has reignited the Cancer Moonshot initiative and set a new national goal: “if we work together, we can cut the death rate from cancer by at least 50% over the next 25 years and improve the experience of people and their families living with and surviving cancer. To achieve these goals, we must amplify digital innovation.”

Oracle is excited and honored to participate in the Cancer Moonshot's new CancerX public-private partnership. CancerX's inaugural project focuses on using digital innovation to reduce disparities and financial toxicity in cancer care and research. CancerX uses a three-pronged approach to generate impact in cancer research and care: conducting pre-competitive evidence generation; establishing an accelerator cohort; and leading demonstration projects.
