Every person’s cancer journey takes a different path

One of the challenges of cancer is that there’s no single way to treat it, and sometimes no clear right way.

Our disease areas

At Novartis, we push the limits of science to create technologies and platforms — from targeted and radioligand therapies, to cell and gene technologies, to immunotherapy — with potential to be new foundations for cancer care in areas with great unmet need.

Hematology

From targeted therapies, to precision cell and gene therapy, and immunotherapy – we have been pioneers in hematology, staying on the cutting edge in order to tackle blood cancers and serious blood disorders. Our research continues in new and different ways to harness the power of immunotherapy and potentially benefit a broader patient population than ever before. We are changing the hematological paradigm, transforming what it means to live with blood cancer or a serious blood disorder.
