Biotech stocks rocked in 2017. At least a lot of them did. The SPDR S&P Biotech ETF has chalked up a gain of 40% with only a couple of weeks left in the year -- twice the return of the S&P 500 index.

But which biotech stocks performed best of all?

Here's what made 2017 such a fantastic year for these biotech stocks.
