For many patients the word cancer sounds extremely threatening, because it makes them think of one of the most dangerous diseases and the related suffering.

However, cancer does not have to be a death sentence! Many patients succeed in overcoming the disease. It is, however, important to detect it at an early stage and undergo comprehensive treatment. Moreover, it is often necessary to change one’s life style as well. The number of patients in the world who succeed in fighting cancer is on the rise!

 

The area of our concern includes cytostatic drugs, i.e. a group of natural and synthetic substances used in the chemotherapy of cancers, demonstrating toxic effects on cancer cells that are characterised by a high proliferation rate.

 

For many years, our portfolio has also included drugs used in the management of Hodgkin’s disease, all histopathological subtypes and clinical stages of non-Hodgkin lymphomas, chronic lymphatic leukaemia and testicular cancer. We also help patients suffering from rhabdomyosarcoma, osteosarcoma and soft tissue sarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, neuroblastoma, Wilms tumour, breast cancer, small-cell lung carcinoma, and the majority of solid tumours in adults under combined chemotherapy.
