3 Humongous Health-Care Stocks This Week

This year will go down in the record books as one of the best ever for health-care stocks. And the year isn't ending on a disappointing note. Several health-care stocks experienced huge gains during the short holiday week. Here are the three biggest winners.

High C
Provectus Biopharmaceuticals stands out as the top health-care stock on our list. Shares skyrocketed 45% on momentum from an important "type C" meeting held with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration last week.

On Dec. 18, Provectus announced that it had met two days earlier with the FDA about a pathway to approval for the company's melanoma drug PV-10. There really wasn't much that the company could share about the meeting, but the news was enough to excite investors.

Provectus is gearing up [sic] for a phase 3 pivotal trial of PV-10 in treating melanoma, which received orphan drug designation from the FDA in 2011. An early stage trial of the drug in treating breast cancer has also been completed with another under way targeting liver cancer.

The other two were Inovio Pharmaceuticals, up 32%, and United Therapeutics, up 29%.
