Oncology and NASHSince the ER they have posted three times articles and quizzes related to growing prevalence of NASH, the latest was posted today. So they want to educate their followers re the market opportunities for an approved drug for a growing condition.

Just to get an idea of the cancers’ market I found this article which is stating the economic burden of colorectal cancer across Europe in 2015 was €19·1 billion, now this is obviously for all stages of that cancer but if and when their PDC gets approved possibly for more cancers the market opportunities both in the US and Europe are putting it mildly great.

“The burden of cancer and the projected increase in cancer incidence, estimated to be 25% by 2035, is a global policy concern. 1 If no further action is taken, cancer will soon be the number one cause of death in high-income countries. Therefore, it is encouraging to have comprehensive data of the economic effect of colorectal cancer across Europe, as reported by Raymond Henderson and colleagues in the Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology.”
