Our Oncology Solutions

We support clients across the entire oncology ecosystem with their scientific, commercial, and organizational needs. Our areas of expertise include:

  • Research and Development. We partner with biopharma and medtech players to accelerate drug development, enhance their data science and analytic capabilities, identify key areas for oncology research, promote broader access, and improve clinical trials. Our teams have experience across all modalities, including immuno-oncology, cell therapy, gene therapy, antibody-drug conjugates, companion diagnostics, and more; we focus on everything from the capability-building stage to operations, with special expertise in supply chain management.
  • Operations and Operating Models. Our oncology consultants have helped clients design their organization and governance structures, streamline their operating models, conduct strategic planning exercises, maximize productivity, and unlock efficiencies—from drug research to the vetting of potential partners.
  • Strategy. We’ve worked with clients to unlock new opportunities and tap into new markets, build growth strategies, craft value frameworks, and transform their organizations’ scientific and organization goals. Our teams draw on a legacy of corporate strategy—and portfolio strategy, in particular—to rapidly analyze oncology players’ complex portfolios and help them align on priorities.
  • Commercial. Our oncology consulting services help organizations accelerate and optimize their commercialization efforts by supporting product and new venture launches, conducting competitor and market analyses, crafting effective pricing strategies, shaping medical affairs practices, and driving toward improved patient outcomes. We deploy diverse teams that understand the complex cross-functional needs that are required to succeed in oncology and can help clients balance their priorities accordingly.

Our Client Work in Oncology Solutions

BCG has rich experience in providing oncology consulting services to clients across regions and industries, including hospitals, private equity firms, NGOs, research institutions, and pharmaceutical and biotech companies. Examples include:

Oncology-Solutions-Icons/OncologySolutions-ClientImpact-Value.png
We helped a Fortune 500 pharma company publish and disseminate a report focused on advancing the global consensus around the broader clinical and economic value of oncology medicines to enable earlier, more equitable patient access. We convened plenary sessions and surveys with a global panel of key external experts to cocreate an endorsed list of principles to guide future value definition and measurements for oncology treatments.

We completed a thorough assessment of key trends in precision medicine for a discovery-stage biotech firm, highlighting why small molecules designed with innovative tools present a unique opportunity for driving impact in oncology. We identified nine potential priority targets for the client to pursue, conducted a broad analysis of the competitive landscape, and selected tumors with the highest unmet need that were most suitable for the client to pursue with their proprietary target-discovery technologies.
