Shrotriya, MD, chairman, CEO, and president of Spectrum stated in the press release. “In the near-term, we expect 2011 and 2012 to be the years of great achievements. We anticipate FDA decisions on the use of FUSILEV in colorectal cancer in April, the bioscan removal for ZEVALIN later in the year, and NDA filings for belinostat and apaziquone in 2011 and 2012, respectively.
