Despite the doom and gloom surrounding the pharmaceutical industry and the many commentaries highlighting inefficiencies of the sectors operating model, 2011 has proven to be a near-record year for approvals of innovative new drugs. These approvals include seven new cancer treatments with two of these (Pfizer’s crizotinib, Xalkori™ and Roche’s vemurafenib, Zelboraf™) made in conjunction with companion genetic tests, reinforcing the notion that the practice of stratified medicine has truly arrived. The forthcoming special issue of Drug Discovery Today on cancer highlights innovative contributions in basic, translational and clinical research made by UK scientists and clinicians in the fight against cancer.
