(Reuters) - AstraZeneca reported quarterly revenue and profit above market estimates on Thursday, buoyed by resilient demand for its oncology and rare blood disorder drugs.

The London-listed drugmaker reported core earnings per share of $2.06 on total revenue of $12.68 billion for the first quarter.

Analysts were expecting a core profit of $1.92 per share on revenue of $11.84 billion, according to a company-compiled consensus.
