    It's #WorldCancerResearchDay! In the past 20 years 200+ targeted therapies were approved – showing #ResearchWorks. We’re going to keep working hand in hand with the global cancer research community to better detect, monitor, diagnose and treat cancer to keep this momentum going.
    In 2001, the first targeted drug was approved for the treatment of cancer. Now in 2021, more than 200 targeted therapies have been approved. #ResearchWorks, World Cancer Research Day
