Oncology is such a wide field within the pharma arena to the extent that it encompasses hundreds of different diseases, all with their own challenges. In recent decades, cancer has become more manageable and survivable thanks to the efforts of researchers, drug developers and patient advocates who’ve led the way to treatments tailored for specific needs.
And it doesn’t end there. These leaders are pushing the limits in cancer therapy through genetic insights, data research and shared knowledge, paving the way to a world where cancer is no longer a dreadful prognosis but rather a puzzle to be solved in this lifetime.
