New Research Offers an In-Depth Competitive Landscape Assessment of the Targeted Oncology Market Place.


DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c45675) has announced the addition of "Targeted Therapies in Oncology onco·logi·cal (-k-lj: A World Review "to their offering.

The dogma for treatment of cancer has changed, with the cytotoxic drugs used in chemotherapy regimes set to lose their dominance and be used alongside targeted therapies that are being developed with the aim of more specifically targeting cancer cells.

Research and analysis highlights

-- In this comprehensive report covering targeted therapies in oncology, we have analyzed protein kinase protein kinase /pro·tein ki·nase/ (pro´ten ki´nas) an enzyme that catalyzes the phosphorylation of serine, threonine, or tyrosine groups in enzymes or other proteins, using ATP as a phosphate donor. inhibitors, anti-angiogenic angiogenic /an·gio·gen·ic/ (-jen´ik)
1. pertaining to angiogenesis.
2. of vascular origin.
 and vascular targeting agents, immunostimulators, antibodies and vaccines in oncology.

-- This extensive 410+ page report compiles and analyzes in parallel the progress concerning drug development and competitive situation in the mentioned key oncology targeted therapy areas. The report will not only provide a framework but also a careful identification and evaluation of drug candidates, technologies and competitors.

-- The number of targeted therapy drugs has risen sharply, as have the number of targets. The fiercest competition in oncology targeted therapy is pointed out and how several big pharma companies are out hunting for promising technology and drugs to complement their internal pipeline.

Scope of this report
