Oncology

In 2018, it is estimated that more than 9.5 million people died from cancer and that number is expected to increase.[1]

Share Icons revealed to the left

An oncology innovator that is shaping cancer care today and tomorrow

Cancer has a huge impact: It is estimated that in 2018, there were more than 18 million cancer diagnoses, and more than 9.5 million people died from cancer globally, with that number expected to increase. [1] This drives us to develop innovations that matter most to people living with cancer.

 

As these figures show, there is a continued need for patients to have access to new cancer treatments, particularly for those with hard-to-treat cancers. Our pioneering spirit drives us to help address this need by discovering and delivering innovative approaches to cancer care. We are harnessing this spirit and our strength as a global pharmaceutical company to invest significant resources into our research and development (R&D), which is demonstrated through our rapidly evolving pipeline of potential new cancer treatments.

 

But we know we cannot do this alone. It is our intent and endeavor to accelerate innovation in bringing new treatments to patients. To this end, we partner with some of the leading minds in the cancer community – from industry to academic institutions to leading cancer centers – to pursue integrated innovations that might have the potential to transform cancer care.

 

Yet innovation has to start on the front line, with patients and the people who take care of them. This is why we actively seek and listen to their feedback. We want to know what patients, caregivers and healthcare professionals need most. We then strive to transform their input into creative and innovative new approaches. 

 

Ultimately, we aspire to discover and develop diverse treatment options and new approaches to cancer care with the aim to make a meaningful difference to people living with cancer.

Oncology Ambition

We are inspired by curiosity, science and, most importantly, patients, combining a creative approach with our relentless drive to transform the way cancer is treated.

Head and Neck Cancer*

The incidence of H&N cancer is increasing. Even for patients who survive the disease, the consequences can be traumatic. Disfigurement may combine with difficulty in breathing, speaking and drinking. [5] [6]

Colorectal Cancer*

Early detection is vital for colorectal cancer patients. It begins in the bowel, but in one in four patients it has already spread by the time it is diagnosed, with potentially fatal consequences. [7]

Publication of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany

There are two different, unaffiliated companies that use the name MERCK. Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, which operates this website, uses the firm name "Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany," in the United States and Canada, and also uses "MilliporeSigma" in life science, "EMD Serono" in healthcare and "EMD Electronics" in the electronics business. The other company, Merck & Co., Inc. holds the rights in the trademark MERCK in the United States and Canada. Merck & Co. is not affiliated with or related to Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, which owns the MERCK trademark in all other countries of the world. To reflect such fact and to avoid any confusion, certain logos, terms and business description of the publication on this website have been substituted or modified, such as by referring to "Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany" instead of "Merck" standing alone. Publications on this webpage, therefore, slightly deviate from the otherwise identical versions accessible outside the United States and Canada.

Accommodation for applicants with disabilities is available as part of the application and recruitment process. If you would like further information on accommodation, please contact HR at 855-444-5678.
