(PharmaNewsWire.Com, November 11, 2021 ) According to the new market research report the leukemia therapeutics market is projected to reach USD 17.1 billion by 2024 from USD 12.3 billion in 2019, at a CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period.
Leukemia is a type of cancer originating from white blood cells or the bone marrow, which occurs due to an abnormal increase in the count of white blood cells. It is identified by the spread of the disease (either acute or chronic), and by the type of the blood cell that is affected (lymphocytic or myeloid). The treatment options depend on several factors, including the phase of the disease, possible side effects, and the patient’s overall health. Leukemia therapeutic drugs are used to destroy cancer cells. This type of medication is given through the bloodstream to reach cancer cells throughout the body.
