Download this infographic to explore major cancer drug discovery milestones throughout history and the five pillars of modern-day cancer treatment.

Tremendous progress has been made in the cancer research field over the past 20 years. This infographic highlights 10 major milestones since the year 2000.

Cancer drug discovery has made great advances since its earliest steps. Cytotoxic drugs affect healthy cells, as well as the tumor, and thus give rise to a multitude of side effects. To counter this, the focus has shifted to targeted approaches that exploit molecular characteristics that are unique to the tumor.

From optimizing immunotherapy to second-guessing cancer’s next evolutionary step – there has never been a more innovative era in cancer drug discovery.
