Bladder Cancer Drug Pipeline Update 2009

According to the American Cancer Society, bladder cancer is the 6th most common cancer in the U.S. Bladder cancer occurs among both men and women. When found and treated early, the 5 year survival rate is 94%.

There are today no less than 73 therapeutics targeting bladder cancer in active development, from early preclinical to marketed drugs. In addition, the accumulated number of ceased drugs over the last three years amount to another 15 drugs. Bladder Cancer Drug Pipeline Update lists all drugs and gives you a progress analysis on each one of them. Identified drugs are linked to 47 different targets. These targets are further categorized on the CD-ROM by 24 classifications of molecular function and with pathway referals to BioCarta, KEGG and NetPath. Read more below on how the Bladder Cancer Drug Pipeline Update is organized.
