Global Oncology Market to 2023 - Robust Growth Driven by Rising Prevalence and Increased Uptake of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors

LONDON, July 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Summary
Oncology comprises a large and diverse group of indications, encompassing virtually all sites and tissues in the human body. The diseases are characterized by abnormal cell proliferation, which is followed by local tissue invasion and, at an advanced stage of the disease, the migration of the cancer cells to other parts of the body. Cancer is a genetically driven disease, with iterative mutations providing selective advantages to the cells in the context of the specific tissue site, followed by clonal expansion.

Cancer is anticipated to become increasingly prevalent due to aging populations and rising levels of obesity in the developed world. Furthermore, the development and approval of more targeted oncology treatments is anticipated to decrease toxicity and increase chemotherapy usage in elderly patients. Targeted treatment administration will increase the overall survival of poor-performance-status patients (having impaired functional status) and enable more rounds of chemotherapy to be administered.

In 2012, there were 32.6 Million people living with any type of cancer within five years of diagnosis. These are generally incurable once they progress to the stage where they are unresectable. Chemotherapy compounds are a mainstay treatment for cancers of all types, at various disease stages. In a typical course of therapy for cancer, multiple chemotherapy compounds are administered sequentially in combination regimens, as an adjunct to surgery and radiation therapy. Chemotherapy drugs are cytotoxic to dividing cells, meaning that they act on both healthy and malignant tissues and are fairly toxic.

There has been a shift towards developing targeted therapies, such as mAbs and cell therapies. Targeted therapies, by their nature, have less toxicity associated with their use and as a result can be administered to more cancer patients, who are commonly elderly and have co-morbidities, therefore increasing the overall survival of this group and the number of treatment cycles they may receive. The most commercially successful oncology treatments are mAbs such as MabThera/Rituxan, Avastin and Herceptin.
Key market players (as determined by the total oncology revenue), namely Roche, Celgene, Bristol Myers Squibbs and Novartis, are forecast to maintain their strong market shares throughout the forecast period. Nevertheless, despite the approaching patent expiries of Avastin, Kadcyla, Perjeta and Tarceva, Roche is expected to maintain the highest market share of any company.

The report "Global Oncology Market to 2023 - Robust Growth Driven by Rising Prevalence and Increased Uptake of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors" provides an introduction to oncology, including disease epidemiology, symptoms, etiology, pathophysiology, co-morbidities and complications and prognosis.
