A biotechnology pioneer with a mission to serve patients, Amgen discovers, develops, manufactures and delivers innovative medicines to help those battling cancer and other serious illnesses.

Amgen is passionate about helping people survive cancer and takes a comprehensive approach to addressing cancer by exploring its science and numerous mechanisms of disease. Amgen supportive care products help doctors and patients cope with potentially serious side effects of chemotherapy. And Amgen scientists are discovering and creating the next generation of innovative cancer therapeutics — targeted agents that hone in on tumor cells and other cells in the body that play a part in tumor growth and survival.

All of us at Amgen have been somehow touched by cancer, and we understand that while access to the best possible medical treatment is vital, beating cancer calls for more than that. People facing cancer need support from their community and access to reliable information. Amgen and the Amgen Foundation back a broad range of patient assistance programs and community initiatives to increase patient access to quality healthcare and advance science education to develop the scientists of tomorrow.

Amgen champions important patient programs including the Breakaway from Cancer^® initiative which increases awareness of the comprehensive array of resources available to cancer patients — from prevention to education and support to financial assistance and survivorship. Additionally, Amgen has also joined forces with the Centers for Disease Control Foundation and the Centers for Disease Control on a three-year initiative to provide resources and educational tools for patients with cancer, their caregivers and healthcare professionals to further raise awareness of the risks and impact of infections in cancer patients.

Amgenis proud to partner with Stand Up To Cancer™ as part of our ongoing commitment to advances in cancer treatment. We believe this partnership will not only provide additional needed funds to generate more cancer research, but will prove what we have long believed – that working together is essential to fighting and overcoming this disease.
