Beth Meagher, of Deloitte Consulting, discusses the importance of early cancer detection.

As a part of the National Cancer Moonshot Initiative, Deloitte Consulting launched the XPRIZE competition, where participants are encouraged to come up with health care innovation that is focused on early cancer detection.
