Oncology is one island where biotech investment continues in the sea of shrinking biopharma. As expected, the current environment is also conducive to oncology biotech companies being lost to mergers and acquisitions. Sadly, these carefully crafted and nurtured brands will be lost for ever!

Top Cancer News Stories of 2011
(posted Dec 23rd, 2011)
Today's is the 40th anniversary of Pres. Nixon's War on Cancer (pbs, wsj). It must be one of the longest running battles in the US history. But, now Harold Varmus, Director of the National Cancer Institute, thinks that it is time to change the metaphor: Cancer is neither a single enemy nor a war (wsjblog). While this "war" has consumed trillions of dollars and changed the face of cancer into a "chronic" and manageable condition, somehow, the word "cancer" did not make it to the top ten searched terms this year. Google Zeitgeist (US) 2011 lists Steve Jobs and two of Apple's creations, iPhone5 and iPad2 among the top ten. The rest is showbiz. Just five years ago, "cancer" was number three on the Google News top searches (see here).
For those who think about cancer, here are the top cancer news stories of the year 2011
