Lung cancer
At Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine Oncology EMEA, we are precisely focused on mastering the areas where we can make the most meaningful difference. We are dedicated to developing targeted, innovative therapies for lung cancer that transform outcomes, improving patients’ quality of life and increasing survival rates.
Not only is lung cancer the leading cause of cancer death, but it also carries a high symptom burden with associated lowered quality of life. At Janssen, we are committed to developing innovative targeted therapies that address the unmet needs for specific types of lung cancer hoping to improve patients’ quality of life and survival rates.”
Underpinned by the scale and success of Johnson & Johnson, J&J Oncology is a growing force in oncology. Nevertheless, we know that change can only come through collaboration. We invest our time, expertise and resources and partner with experts to unlock the potential around us, all in pursuit of better outcomes for patients and their families.
Johnson & Johnson is uniquely positioned as a company that spans the entire spectrum of human health: medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and consumer products. As the most broadly-based healthcare company in the world, we partner with external companies across all parts of our business.
One such partnership scheme is our Lung Cancer Initiative (LCI), which aims to improve outcomes in lung cancer for patients in Europe and beyond. By developing partnerships and innovation, we can address the current challenges that face lung cancer patients across the world.
The initiative is being expanded to the EMEA region, with the same goal of finding better ways to screen, prevent and intercept lung cancer. We’ll be providing further information on our progress in EMEA soon.
