Brain Cancer Drug Pipeline Update 2008
Bioseeker, April 2008
Despite the heavy investment made into brain cancer research, primary brain cancer, with glioblastoma multiforme being the most aggressive and most common form, remains one of the most deadly diseases in the developed world. While primary brain tumors are relatively rare, the chances of survival for patients with the disease are very low, even with the best treatment options currently available.
Datamonitor predicts that there will be around 26,000 new cases of glioblastoma multiforme diagnosed in the seven major markets (US, Japan, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and UK) in 2007. In the US alone, around 14,000 people will die from brain cancer in 2007.
There are today more than 125 therapeutics targeting brain cancer, from early preclinical to marketed drugs. Brain Cancer Drug Pipeline Update lists all drugs and gives you a progress analysis on each one of them. Identified drugs are linked to 75 different targets. These targets are further categorized on the CD-ROM by 30 classifications of molecular function and with pathway referals to BioCarta, KEGG and NetPath. Read more below on how the Brain Cancer Drug Pipeline Update is organized.
