Cancer affects most people - as patients or as relatives of a patient. Despite years of intensive research, cancer rates are still on the rise. Biogen Idec discovered the first monoclonal antibody to be approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for a cancer indication, and today it is the No. 1 seller of cancer therapeutics in the United States. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease of the central nervous system. Biogen Idec developed the leading treatment for relapsing forms of MS. This treatment slows the progression of disability and reduces relapse. Olga Bobrovnikova is one particularly bright example of how a patient’s life is transformed by our therapies.
“The search for lost music has been a big motivator in my life and has enabled me to take the maximum benefit from my MS treatment.” Olga Bobrovnikova, MS patient
