Astellas is committed to achieving global category leadership in oncology through
a three-tiered approach that includes (1) research and development that targets
the fundamental aspects of tumor biology, (2) strategic partnerships such as our
acquisition of OSI Pharmaceuticals in 2010, and (3) our existing expertise in urology
