Abstract

The Cancer Moonshot Program aims to reduce cancer mortality by 50% within 25 years through innovation in early detection, precision medicine and novel therapies. However, achieving this goal requires an equal emphasis on supportive oncology, which addresses symptom management, psychosocial needs, and quality of life. Despite its proven benefits, supportive care remains underfunded and often delayed in cancer treatment. This editorial highlights ongoing initiatives within the Moonshot framework, such as the integration of early palliative care and the expansion of telehealth services. Challenges, including provider awareness and reimbursement barriers, must be addressed to ensure equitable, patient-centred cancer care.

重塑美国的癌症护理：通过癌症登月计划推进支持性肿瘤学。

癌症登月计划旨在通过早期检测、精准医疗和新疗法的创新，在25年内将癌症死亡率降低50%。然而，实现这一目标需要同样重视支持性肿瘤学，解决症状管理、社会心理需求和生活质量问题。尽管支持性治疗的益处已被证实，但在癌症治疗中，支持性治疗仍然资金不足，而且常常被延误。这篇社论重点介绍了登月计划框架内正在开展的举措，如整合早期姑息治疗和扩大远程保健服务。必须解决包括提供者意识和报销障碍在内的挑战，以确保公平、以患者为中心的癌症护理。

期刊介绍： Published quarterly in print and continuously online, BMJ Supportive & Palliative Care aims to connect many disciplines and specialties throughout the world by providing high quality, clinically relevant research, reviews, comment, information and news of international importance. We hold an inclusive view of supportive and palliative care research and we are able to call on expertise to critique the whole range of methodologies within the subject, including those working in transitional research, clinical trials, epidemiology, behavioural sciences, ethics and health service research. Articles with relevance to clinical practice and clinical service development will be considered for publication. In an international context, many different categories of clinician and healthcare workers do clinical work associated with palliative medicine, specialist or generalist palliative care, supportive care, psychosocial-oncology and end of life care. We wish to engage many specialties, not only those traditionally associated with supportive and palliative care. We hope to extend the readership to doctors, nurses, other healthcare workers and researchers in medical and surgical specialties, including but not limited to cardiology, gastroenterology, geriatrics, neurology, oncology, paediatrics, primary care, psychiatry, psychology, renal medicine, respiratory medicine.
