Why Europe needs a bold vision in the fight against cancer

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:55:12 GMT

Fewer than 10 percent of the global population lives in Europe, but it has a quarter of all cancer cases in the world.The overall economic impact of cancer in the region is estimated at €100bn each year, meaning this disease not only takes lives but has significant consequences for economies and societies.Optimal treatment solutions are hard to come by, not least because the process of developing cancer medicines is a marathon, not a sprint, and one that demands time, resources and persistence from large teams of experts.Drug development really needs persistence, from the initial idea of a new drug and the new target until clinical trials, and then eventually — hopefully — the launch of a new medication.”Explains Franziska Siegel, Research Scientist in Oncology at Bayer Pharmaceuticals“There are often 30, 40, even 50 people working on cancer treatments over a really long period,” says Franziska Siegel, research scientist in oncology at Bayer Pharmaceuticals.

Groundbreaking Boston politician and activist Mel King has passed away at age 94. Following his death, King is being remembered as a trailblazing leader. King was a grassroots organizer who became a politician and lawmaker and, later, a teacher. He was born in the South End in 1929, where he lived throughout his life.
