Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is a condition of the human body leading to the production of abnormal lymphocytes. In normal circumstances, the lymphocytes grow and die. However, in NHL they do not die; instead they grow and further divide. NHL can begin either in the T-cells or B-cells, though mostly it begins in the B-cells. The location of NHL is generally in the lymph nodes, but it can also spread to the body's lymphatic system.
It has many symptoms, of which swelling in the lymph nodes, abdominal pain, chest pain, cough, fever, fatigue, and night sweats are the most prominent. The causes of this disease are still unknown to scientists. NHL is linked with risk factors such as the overuse of immunosuppressant drugs, viruses such as HIV or Epstein-Barr, and bacteria such as Helicobacter pylori. NHL can be diagnosed by urine tests, physical examination for the enlargement of the lymph nodes, imaging tests (scans) such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computerized tomography (CT), and biopsy tests.
The analysts forecast the Global Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Therapeutics market will grow at a CAGR of 7.03 percent over the period 2014-2018.
Covered in this Report
This report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the Global Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Therapeutics market for the period 2014-2018. The Global Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Therapeutics market will observe a high growth in the forecast period. It is due to the availability of the biosimilars at a reduced price across the NHL market. This will be mainly due to the growth of the drug Rituxan in the global market. Apart from that, the market will also grow as a result of the improved diagnostic techniques to detect NHL. Besides, the increase in public awareness about NHL and robust drug pipeline for the treatment of NHL are the major influencers in the growth of the Global Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Therapeutics market.
The report, the Global Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Therapeutics Market 2014-2018, has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts.

Market penetration of biologics is expected to dominate the Global NHL Therapeutics market. Rituxan (Rituximab) by Roche got FDA approval in 1997 for the treatment of NHL. It is the first monoclonal antibody developed for the treatment of cancer, and it meets the expected safety and efficacy parameters. Zevalin (Ibritumomab Tiuxetan) by Roche is also a monoclonal antibody radioimmunotherapy treatment meant for relapsed NHL.
According to the report, one of the important drivers is the availability of low-cost biosimilars. Biosimilars offer patient benefit by providing low-cost alternatives to highly priced biologics, which are generally used for the treatment of NHL.
