Cancer is the second leading cause of death by disease in the United States, exceeded only by heart disease. Traditionally cancer has been treated with surgery, chemotherapy, hormones and radiation therapy, alone or in combination. Emerging technologies include photodynamic therapy, gene therapy, biological therapy (immunotherapy) and angiogenesis inhibitors. Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are investing billions of dollars to search out and develop weapons for the arsenal in the war against cancer. This TriMark Publications report provides an overview of the global market for cancer therapeutics. The examination focuses on the efforts of biotechnology companies and pharmaceutical firms to incorporate new technologies for developing anti-cancer drugs into their corporate strategies.
