Experiences of living with cancer

At Boehringer Ingelheim, our aspiration is to transform the lives of people living with cancer, by delivering meaningful advances with the ultimate goal of curing a range of cancers. To do this requires a diversity of minds. This is why we work with people living with cancer, advocacy groups, and others, to make a meaningful impact.

Each cancer journey is different, and everyone has a different perspective. For many people living with cancer, it can be the small moments that are the most significant.

Making more of these cherished moments happen, are what drive us to deepen our understanding of the science behind many cancers. These milestones, drive ours.
