Cancer is complex. Astellas Oncology recognizes the complexities of the cancer journey – in addition to medicine, people with cancer need comprehensive care.
At Astellas, we believe that having a conscious awareness of the patient in all activities, from every area of the company every single day, ensures we make the greatest impact possible on patients throughout their healthcare journey.
That’s why we are committed to fueling big ideas that tackle everyday challenges in cancer care beyond medicine. The C³ (Changing Cancer Care) Prize awards grants and resources to advance ideas that make a big impact in the cancer community. The C³ Prize directly reflects the mission of Astellas Oncology: to make every day better for those impacted by cancer.
