"Metastatic Cancer: A Significant Therapeutic Challenge as Pharmaceutical Companies Leverage Digital Platforms and Data to Enhance Engagement with Patients, Providers, and Regulators in the Growing Cancer Therapeutics Market"
BOSTON, June 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- According to the latest study from BCC Research, "Global Cancer Therapeutics Market: Emphasis on Recurrent and Metastatic Divisions" is expected to grow from $116.1 billion in 2024 to reach $168.0 billion by the end of 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7% from 2024 to 2029.
This report provides a comprehensive analysis of the global market for cancer therapeutics. It covers the history, forms, pathophysiology, stages, and mechanisms of cancer metastasis and recurrence. The report also examines the disease burden through cancer epidemiology. It discusses various treatment patterns, including non-pharmacological (e.g., radiation, surgery) and pharmacological (e.g., hormonal therapy, targeted therapy, chemotherapy, combinatorial therapy) approaches.
Additionally, it analyzes the most frequently used products, clinical trials, new product approvals, and the growth prospects of the regions of North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World. Profiles of leading companies and their strategies in the cancer treatment sector are also included.
This report is particularly relevant today due to the urgent need for new treatments for metastatic cancers, which are responsible for about 90% of cancer-related deaths. The aggressive nature of metastatic disease and the challenge of overcoming resistance to existing therapies highlight the importance of this market. The rapid evolution of combination therapies which integrate immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and chemotherapy, offers promising advances in increasing treatment efficacy and overcoming resistance, making this a critical area of focus.
The factors driving the market's growth include:
Approval of Oncology Drugs: Faster approval processes, like the FDA's accelerated pathway, help new cancer drugs reach patients sooner, encouraging innovation.
Technological Advances: Innovations such as personalized medicine, AI in treatment planning, and immunotherapy make cancer treatments more effective.
Increasing Cancer Incidence: The rise in the number of cancer cases due to aging populations and lifestyle changes drive the demand for new treatments.
Promising Late-Stage Drugs: Many new drugs in late-stage trials show potential for better efficacy and fewer side effects, offering hope for improved cancer care.
