Read about the cancers we are urgently working to address:
Our commitment to patient education
Our programs are designed to educate and improve patient understanding regarding disease symptoms, early diagnosis and ongoing support.
Our Way Forward
Our Way Forward is a call-to-action that encourages people living with gynecologic cancers, such as ovarian and endometrial cancer, their loved ones, and healthcare providers to rethink how they talk about these cancers. The program provides ways to learn from each other’s cancer experiences and to help navigate the physical and emotional challenges that these diseases bring.
Mapping Myelofibrosis
Mapping Myelofibrosis is an initiative designed to increase awareness of this complex blood cancer, which can be difficult to diagnose. Whether you, or someone you care for, has been living with this disease for years, or is experiencing symptoms without a diagnosis, Mapping Myelofibrosis connects the community with educational tools, resources and stories to help navigate all aspects of the disease and help encourage conversations with your healthcare provider.

Our purpose-built organization
Cancer doesn’t wait, and neither do we. GSK Oncology works with a sense of urgency to deliver medicines and programs and expand our pipeline of products with the promise for the future. We bring transparency, authenticity, and passion to everything we do.
We are uniquely collaborative and united in a single goal—to deliver medicines that maximize survival and quality of life for people with cancer who have limited treatment options. GSK scientists are focused on maximizing survival through the discovery and development of novel oncology medicines that may have life-changing potential. Our goal is for people with cancer to not only live, but to live well, as a result of our medicines.
Health, equity and innovation
Factors outside of science, such as discrimination, can create barriers that prevent people from benefitting from the hard-won scientific advancements in cancer care. Innovation must go beyond the science to address care disparities.
As a company, GSK Oncology is committed to not just spotting the inequities present in cancer care but helping to solve for them. Read more in Endpoints News.
Working alongside the oncology community
GSK is honored to work with patient groups, advocates and physicians who impact the lives of those impacted by cancer. We strive to create resources that will encourage and empower the oncology community to broaden their knowledge around their disease and speak with their healthcare team(s) around options.
GSK’s new Oncology patient engagement hub – a direct-to-patient education platform – offers information, resources, and webinars to drive patient and care partner activation- on topics such as general wellness to disease-specific information.
Access to our medicines
At GSK Oncology, we understand that a cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming for patients and loved ones. Treatment considerations and costs can add undue stress, especially if you’re unsure what coverage options are available or how to access them. Together with GSK Oncology is here to help, offering patients and healthcare professionals a variety of access and reimbursement services for all GSK oncology products—all in one place.
Job title: Sr. Manager, Patient Experience Marketing
Based in Durham, NC
What do you look forward to in the future in your designated business area?
I was born and raised in Puerto Rico and have seen firsthand how frustrating it can be for loved ones facing medical issues without reliable information in Spanish. With the Hispanic population growing rapidly in the U.S., companies like GSK must invest in strategies to serve these communities. I’m thrilled to see the Oncology marketing team prioritizing Spanish resources, and I’m excited to contribute to creating more multicultural materials for various demographics to improve health equity and educate patients in their language.
Job title: Director of Learning and Development for Oncology
Based in Durham, NC
How have you collaborated across the GSK enterprise to integrate best practices into the oncology team?
I have a monthly call with all of the other training directors to share best practices and to borrow ideas from other business units. This has increased our collaboration and opened up new ways to do things across all business units. We also use this time to brainstorm innovative solutions to common challenges, which has led to more effective strategies and a stronger sense of unity among our teams. By leveraging each other's successes, we’ve been able to accelerate our progress and achieve better outcomes collectively.
Job title: Director, Market Access Strategy
Based in Philadelphia, PA
What responsibilities does your team manage within the oncology business?
Our team is passionate about ensuring all cancer patients have access to appropriate medical care. Our goals and responsibilities revolve around patient access. Our day to day involves activities such as working with my partners to ensure insurance coverage, confirming listings on electronic medical records (EMRs) at organizations, and monitoring appropriate reimbursement processes to help us reach our goals.
