The MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston announced Friday it's mounting a bold "moon shot" to dramatically reduce deaths from eight types of cancer within the next decade.

The cancers that the program intends to target include acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome, a disease that has made headlines after it was diagnosed in "Good Morning America" co-anchor Robin Roberts.

Other cancers in the program include chronic lymphocytic leukemia, melanoma, lung cancer, prostate cancer, and triple-negative breast and ovarian cancers.

"All of these cancers we picked were picked in part because the state of knowledge in the field today is such that if the knowledge was acted upon with the technologies we have today, there would be a subsequent effect in the level of mortality," said DePinho.
