Our ambition is to outsmart cancer by translating our science into health. The combination of our people and heritage is a particular advantage we have in achieving this goal. Our teams are curious, bold, and driven to deliver potentially transformative medicines to patients with cancer. Our heritage of science-based precision medicine and immuno-oncology means that we can branch into synergies to bridge different aspects of cancer research, in an agile and uncompromising manner. Our research focus is on three key mechanistic pillars: oncogenic pathways; immuno-oncology (IO); and DNA damage response (DDR); and, we are developing new approaches in key tumor types in GI, GU and thoracic cancers, all areas with significant unmet treatment needs. Together, we are transforming cancer care—today and tomorrow.

Two research papers presented by Roche and Foundation Medicine at the 2019 European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) Annual Meeting demonstrate both the promise of an innovative precision medicine driven clinical trial for patients with cancer of unknown primary, as well as the challenges of identifying eligible patients for the trial, according to ESMO guidelines.
