VANCOUVER, BC, May 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- USA News Group – In the fight against cancer, a political stumbling block was recently put in place by the US Congress after it voted against the renewal of funding for President Biden's "Cancer Moon Shot" designed to advance cancer research towards a cure.
