Majority cited side effects of chemotherapy and\/or radiation as the most difficult aspect of their cancer journey.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Steven O\u2019Day, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Agenus<\/b>,<b \/>emphasized the importance of these findings:\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThis survey underscores the urgent need for transformative solutions in colorectal cancer treatment. Patients and healthcare providers alike are calling for more effective options that not only extend survival but also preserve quality of life. At Agenus, we are committed to advancing next-generation immuno-oncology therapies that have the potential to address these unmet needs and bring meaningful progress to the CRC community.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Acknowledging Advocacy Groups for Their Partnership<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nAgenus extends its <b>gratitude to the Colorectal Cancer Alliance<\/b><b>and Fight Colorectal Cancer <\/b>for their collaboration in disseminating the patient survey and amplifying the voices of those affected by CRC. Their partnership has been instrumental in uncovering these critical insights and driving advocacy for meaningful change.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cPatients facing colorectal cancer deserve treatment options that prioritize both survival and quality of life,\u201d said <b>Michael Sapienza, CEO of the Colorectal Cancer Alliance<\/b>. \u201cThe survey findings highlight a clear need for new therapies that are targeted and minimize harsh side effects. We\u2019re proud to partner on this effort to amplify patient voices and advocate for innovative solutions that can transform care.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;This survey reinforces what patients have long been telling us\u2014current colorectal cancer treatments are not enough,\u201d said <b>Anjee Davis, CEO of Fight Colorectal Cancer<\/b>. \u201cToo many are facing limited options, debilitating side effects, and a lack of awareness about emerging therapies. It is critical that we prioritize patient-centered innovation that not only extends survival but also improves quality of life.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nWith these findings, Agenus reaffirms its commitment to developing and accelerating access to novel therapies that harness the power of the immune system.
