Bayer accelerates innovation for new cancer meds

FOUR major launches of innovative treatments Finerenone, Vericiguat, Larotrectinib and Darolutamide underscore Bayer's commitment to reducing the burden of cardiovascular diseases and cancer in the APAC region.

Despite seeing incredible progress over the past years, the overall burden of cancer is not decreasing, but increasing, with almost 20 million patients diagnosed with cancer worldwide in 2020. The global cancer burden is expected to be 28.4 million cases in 2040, a 47 percent rise from 2020.
