A few most common cancer types include lung cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, rectum cancer, and prostate cancer. The condition develops in ~400,000 children every year. Carcinogenic infections, including Helicobacter pylori, hepatitis B virus, human papillomavirus (HPV), hepatitis C virus, and Epstein-Barr virus, caused ~13% of cancer cases in 2018 regionally. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) projects that the number of new cancer cases and cancer-related deaths worldwide would grow ~1.6–1.7 fold to reach 29.5 million by 2040 from 16.4 million in 2018. Further, according to the American Society of Clinical Oncology, in 2021, ~290,560 people (287,850 women and 2,710 men) in the US were diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. Breast cancer in females has now surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide. ~2,261,419 women were diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020.
All the observations recorded about cancer in the US over the past several decades show that metastatic cancer accounts for up to 90% of all cancer deaths each year. These numbers have motivated doctors and researchers to find new ways to treat metastasis, which occurs when cancer spreads beyond its point of origin. In the US, 6% of women were diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in the first diagnosis. Such rise in the prevalence of cancer and metastatic cancer is driving the growth of the metastatic cancer drug market.
With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the metastatic cancer drugs market growth in the coming years. The market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.
