Summary
Executive Summary
Melanoma comprises just 5% of all skin cancers but it is the most deadly. In 2006, more than 100,000 cases of the disease are expected to be diagnosed in the seven major pharmaceutical markets. High unmet needs still persist for this tumor type and despite three decades of extensive R&D, five-year survival of advanced patients remains below 20%.
There are today no less than 210 therapeutics targeting melanoma, from early preclinical to marketed drugs. Melanoma Drug Pipeline Update lists all drugs and gives you a progress analysis on each one of them. Identified drugs are linked to more than 125 different targets. These targets are further categorized on the CD-ROM by 39 classifications of molecular function and their possible belonging to 19 different signaling pathways in the cell. Read more below on how the Melanoma Drug Pipeline Update is organized.
