Market Insight And R&D Pipeline Analysis For Cancer Therapeutics

DUBLIN, Ireland --(Business Wire)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/d98eac/cancer_therapeutic) has announced the addition of the "Cancer Therapeutics - Market Insight and R&D Pipeline Analysis" report to their offering.

Objectives and Scope

The intention of this study is to provide a detailed and thorough analysis of the present and future global market for cancer therapeutics. This report analyzes in detail the markets for colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, leukemia and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Therapies for other types of cancer are discussed throughout the report, but are limited to the Company Briefs chapter and various tables throughout the report. This report from Arrowhead Publishers examines these major cancer markets in light of newly emerging therapeutics, shifting market shares and line extensions for major products on the market.

Reason for this study

The overall economic cost of cancer is staggering. The US National Institutes of Health (NIH) estimates overall costs of cancer in the U.S. in 2006 at $206.3 billion with $78.2 billion in direct medical costs. Further the WHO predicts that global cases of cancer will rise to 15 million new cases by 2020, an increase of 50% over 2005's rate. These staggering numbers indicate the importance of effective therapies in treating this epidemic. There is today still a strong need for therapies that:

  • more specifically target cancer cells
  • extend progression-free survival rates
  • provide patients with metastatic cancer better treatment options

What questions does this report answer

  • What is the current market status of cancer therapeutics in general and with regard to specific types of cancer?
  • What are the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats facing various cancer therapeutics already on the market and ones still in the clinic?
  • What are the major issues involved in the research and development of more effective cancer therapeutics?
  • Which new cancer therapeutics in development are nearing the market? And how are they performing in the clinic?
