In the next phase of the Cancer Moonshot, NCI will focus on investing in the development and testing of new modalities, including multi-cancer early detection assays, and fostering diversity in oncology, NCI Acting Director Douglas R. Lowy said at a joint meeting of the Board Of Scientific Advisors and the National Cancer Advisory Board.
The NCI Human Tumor Atlas Network (HTAN) has published a cluster of papers intended to advance the framework of spatial omics, the science of profiling morphological and molecular features of human cancers in two and three dimensions.
