In 2022, the White House reignited the Cancer Moonshot, an ambitious effort to reduce the cancer death rate by at least 50 percent over the next 25 years and improve the experience of people and families living with and surviving cancer. In addition to programs, policies, and resources, the Moonshot includes the first-ever Cancer Cabinet.

Dr. Drew Moghanaki is a Professor and Chief of Thoracic Oncology at the Department of Radiation Oncology, UCLA. He holds the Stanley Iezman and Nancy Stark Endowed Chair in Thoracic Radiation Oncology Research at the same university.

He specializes in treating lung cancer and other thoracic malignancies, focusing on advanced radiation therapy techniques like stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), magnetic resonance-guided radiation therapy (MRgRT), and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT).
