Bayer in Oncology
At Bayer, we have the passion, dedication and determination to research and develop innovative medicines to help improve the outcomes for patients battling the toughest cancers.
Together, these products reflect the company’s approach to research, which prioritizes targets and pathways with the potential to impact the way that cancer is treated.
Living with a disease: Cancer
Every cancer is different and requires an individual approach. Find out more about different types of cancer, symptoms and treatment options. We are continuously working to find new ways of treating cancer, so that patients do not necessarily need to undergo life-changing and invasive treatments.
Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed malignancy in men worldwide4. In 2018, an estimated 1.2 million men were diagnosed with prostate cancer, and about 358,000 died from the disease worldwide.
Gastro-Intestinal Stromal Cancer
GIST is the most common form of sarcoma (a type of cancer that develops from the cells of the body’s connective or supportive tissues) involving the gastrointestinal tract5.
Liver Cancer
With more than 841,000 new cases diagnosed every year, liver cancer is the sixth most common cancer worldwide. Almost 82,000 new cases are diagnosed annually in the EU6.
TRK Fusion Cancer
Some cancers are caused by specific changes in genes. Genes carry instructions for proteins in cells and an abnormal change to the genes can lead to an alteration of the proteins, which can cause uncontrolled cell growth7.
Thyroid Cancer
Thyroid cancer is a rare but serious disease and is the most common endocrine malignancy. Worldwide there were more than 586.202 new cases of thyroid cancer annually (and over 41,000 people are estimated to die from the disease per year)8.
Colorectal Cancer
The number of patients suffering from colorectal cancer continues to increase and for patients with advanced disease, there are limited options.
