No less than 40 oncology projects are currently under development at Servier, focused on difficult-to-treat cancers, for targeted populations, and which respond to a high unmet medical need among patients.

In the field of solid tumors, Servier is developing treatments that target gastrointestinal cancers – Colorectal Cancer, Gastric Cancer, Pancreatic Cancer, Cholangiocarcinoma (a rare and aggressive bile-duct cancer) – and low-grade glioma (brain tumor). In hematology, the Group is continuing its research into certain types of leukemia, such as Acute Myeloid Leukemia, Acute Lymphoid Leukemia and Lymphoma.

Claude Bertrand, Executive Vice President Research and Development of the Servier Group, said: "ESMO is a major international congress where we can share and discuss our latest scientific and medical advances in oncology with the scientific community. Five years after making our strategic commitment to the fight against cancer, this conference allows us to highlight the progress made by the Group, our teams, and our partners in developing therapeutic solutions to treat patients with hard-to-treat cancers."

Servier’s oncology R&D programs focus on two approaches: Immuno-Oncology, which aims to mobilize the immune system against cancer cells, and targeted therapies, which use precision medicine.
