The document discusses the Cancer Moonshot initiative and its goal to enhance cancer research through the genomic data commons, focusing on precision medicine and the sharing of genomic data. Estimates from 2015 indicated 1.7 million new cancer cases in the U.S., highlighting the need for improved research frameworks that integrate data for better outcomes in prevention and treatment. The genomic data commons aims to facilitate data interoperability, accessibility, and discovery to support a national cancer learning health system.
