Prostate cancer is the second most frequently diagnosed cancer in the world and the fifth leading cause of cancer death among men. The average age of a prostate cancer diagnosis is 66 years.
However, one-time screening and early diagnosis are likely to increase the success rate of treatment.
Market Drivers
Increasing disease prevalence will act as the primary driver for market growth.
Around 200,000 men are diagnosed with it every year, and most of them are over the age of 50. It is estimated that nearly 30,000 men died because of prostate cancer in 2018.
Other market drivers include rapid advancement in oncology screening and diagnostics as well as innovations in drug development.
However, the high cost associated with diagnostic tests and adverse effects of treatment will affect market growth.
An increasing trend is to bring effective immune-based cancer treatments to patients with prostate cancer.
Immunotherapy is a promising new treatment currently being developed in research. Provence, also known as sipuleucel-T is the only FDA-approved immunotherapy for prostate cancer.
