While our world-class cancer-care therapies, both biosimilars and novel biologics, have seen tremendous progress in the diagnosis and treatment of cancers over the last few decades, there is still a huge unmet need of a complete cure.

Biocon’s BIOMAb EGFR® (Nimotuzumab) - India’s first indigenously produced novel biologic for head and neck cancers

  • BIOMAb EGFR® remains one of the most preferred targeted therapies in the treatment of head and neck cancers, for its excellent safety and efficacy profile.
