But challenges remain as well, including unanswered scientific questions and issues of cost and access. Senior leaders from across the cancer research and development ecosystem will provide the latest insight into questions such as: Why do many breakthrough treatments work for some patients but not others, and what are some of the risks of these treatments that are emerging? Can patients, governments and insurers continue to meet the rising costs of cancer treatment and care? Will the change in administration impact commitments made through the Cancer Moonshot and the 21st Century Cures Act?
