Gene Therapies for Breast Cancer Treatment are Slated to be Highly Popular Going Forward
The incidence of breast cancer around the world has risen substantially in recent years owing to growing awareness and increasing availability of advanced diagnostic procedures. High investments in R&D to develop new diagnostic and treatment procedures for breast cancer around the world are projected to help this segment lead the cancer gene therapy market. Gene transfer and suppression are mostly used to treat breast cancer via gene therapies.
Meanwhile, the demand for gene therapy to treat lung cancer is projected to shine bright across the forecast period. Lung cancer amounts to the biggest mortality rate of any other cancer indications, and this is why the demand for novel treatments to treat it is increasing at a rapid pace. Bad air quality due to increased air pollution levels has led to the high incidence of lung cancer, which is why this segment presents highly lucrative opportunities for cancer gene therapy providers.
Gene Induced Immunotherapy Remains Preferred Owing to High Emphasis on Fighting Cancer through the Immune System
Fighting cancer through the immune system has been the best approach proven to treat multiple types of cancers. Gene induced immunotherapy combines the advantages of immunotherapy and gene therapy to provide a much better treatment for cancer indications as compared to either one being used on its own. High investments in research and development of new therapies based on the immune response approach will also help this segment offer new opportunities for cancer gene therapy companies.
Most Cancer Gene Therapies are Slated to be Performed in Hospitals
Hospitals are projected to emerge as major end users of cancer gene therapies. Growing rates of hospitalization due to cancer and the high availability of novel gene therapies in the same are also estimated to help this segment hold a prominent chunk of market share. Biopharmaceutical companies are also estimated to be highly lucrative for cancer gene therapy providers as they focus on developing new cancer treatments and therapeutics.
Surging incidence of multiple types of cancers around the world makes this an opportune market. New as well as established cancer gene therapy providers should invest heavily in R&D to maximize their business scope.
