The Roche Group posted record results in 2007. Group sales were up significantly, advancing 10% in local currencies (10% in Swiss francs; 15% in US dollars) to 46.1 billion Swiss francs. This 4.1 billion Swiss franc rise in full-year sales was all organic growth. The Pharmaceuticals Division's sales increased 11% in local currencies (10% in Swiss francs; 15% in US dollars) to 36.8 billion Swiss francs; this was approximately twice the global market growth rate. Demand remained very strong for the cancer medicines Avastin, Herceptin, MabThera/Rituxan, Tarceva and Xeloda. Combined sales of the division's oncology products were up 20% for the year, reinforcing Roche's market leadership in this therapeutic area.
