Connecting within the oncology community
Making connections in science and building relationships with people in the oncology community fuels our ability to deliver innovative medicines for patients. More than a decade ago, Novartis AG was the first company to form a dedicated global business unit for developing and launching innovative oncology medicines that address the unmet medical needs of patients. This early vision has led to one of the most dynamic portfolios of new products in the marketplace.

Turning scientific possibility into clinical reality
A decade of success in oncology drug development has taught us the value of our connections within the oncology community and their importance to innovation. Together, we explore novel compounds in clinical development, many with potential best-in-class status, aiming to advance or create new standards of care. Our strategy is composed of three elements:

• Precision oncology accelerates development and improves results.
• Collaboration leads to breakthroughs.
• Patient-inspired solutions provide more than medicine.

Unique, dedicated global capabilities support our strategy.
