Pancreatic cancer can be defined as an enlarged tumor, which is generally caused by malignant cells present in the tissues of the pancreas. This type of cancer is generally caused due to drinking alcohol, smoking, genetic factors, radiotherapy in the past, obesity, inflammation of the pancreas, and diabetes mellitus. It is a type of cancer that starts in the pancreas and is a highly lethal disease. The global pancreatic cancer market, as per a report by Market Research Future (MRFR) is touted to register 8.1% CAGR during the forecast period (2017-2023).
The dearth of therapeutic approaches for early-stage detection has resulted in increased incidences of pancreatic cancer. Soaring prevalence of pancreatic cancer has resulted in germline mutations, thereby causing the defective genes to pass down to the children from their parents, thus making early detection of pancreatic cancer important. This has led to the growth of the market across the globe. Surging demand for targeted therapy is considered another propelling factor for the pancreatic cancer therapy market. Targeted therapy aims specific receptors present in the cancerous cells and does not harm the healthy peripheral cells compared to conventional methods such as chemotherapy.
With changing lifestyle, the consumption of tobacco has increased. Also, there has been a surging rate of cigarette smoking, which is likely to enhance the pancreatic cancer market. Moreover, rising intake of alcohol, surging rates of obesity, and rising awareness about several treatment options available in the market are likely to encourage the market growth in the foreseeable future.
On the contrary, costly treatment, coupled with the side effects associated with the treatment of such diseases, are predicted to restrict the market growth.
