Werte in diesem Artikel
The landscape of cancer treatment is undergoing a transformative shift as there is a rising demand for targeted, less toxic cancer medicines.The cancer field has seen significant advancements with the emergence of new cancer treatments like immunotherapy, targeted therapies and personalized vaccines. Immune-based oncology treatments range from checkpoint inhibitors and CAR-T cell therapies to cancer vaccines and oncolytic viruses. These work by harnessing the body’s own immune system to attack cancer cells.Targeted therapies specifically target the genetic mutations driving a particular cancer, thereby offering more precise treatment options with fewer side effects than traditional chemotherapy treatment. Personalized cancer vaccines use a patient's own tumor proteins to trigger an immune response against cancer cells.While decades of research and advanced treatments have prolonged the lives of cancer patients in the last 20 years, a possible cure remains elusive. As the world at large continues to grapple with a significant increase in the number of cancer patients, the market for innovative cancer treatments and diagnostics is expected to grow concurrently.According to the American Cancer Society, 2024 was the first time that new cancer cases in the United States were expected to cross the 2-million mark.Almost all big drugmakers, including Novartis NVS, AstraZeneca AZN, Pfizer PFE, AbbVie ABBV and Eli Lilly LLY, are involved in making new cancer therapies, including antibody-drug conjugates and immune-oncology agents, which can enhance treatment efficacy and improve patient outcomes.

Drugmakers also have an increasing interest in buying out smaller companies that are making innovative cancer treatments with novel mechanisms of action with the potential for better outcomes than currently available drugs.These factors highlight the huge potential for cancer-focused companies.
