VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- USA News Group - Despite the potential federal funding challenges due to the recent debt ceiling deal, optimism in the battle against cancer persists, thanks in large part to the audacious "Cancer Moonshot" initiative. This ambitious plan, aimed at halving cancer rates within the next quarter-century, continues to fuel hope even as concerns about the stability of National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding arise. In these turbulent times, the resilience and ingenuity of the biotech sector provide a beacon of hope. For instance, Oncolytics Biotech Inc. (NASDAQ: ONCY) (TSX: ONC), Zymeworks Inc. (NASDAQ: ZYME), Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc (NASDAQ: JAZZ), Protagonist Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: PTGX), and Amgen Inc. (NASDAQ: AMGN), have each demonstrated inspiring progress and unwavering commitment in advancing cancer treatments, highlighting their vital role in the future of cancer therapy.

Key Points: 
  • The oral presentation shared at the event described how they've been testing a treatment for advanced breast cancer, and it's looking very promising.
  • The treatment combines Oncolytics' flagship drug, pelareorep, with a well-known cancer medicine, paclitaxel.
  • Pelareorep is a unique drug that targets and kills cancer cells by making them self-destruct while leaving healthy cells unharmed.
  • It even lowered the risk of the cancer getting worse by a significant 71% compared to just using paclitaxel.
