According to the findings by WHO, the global mortality rate due to cancer in 2018 surged to 9.6 million. The same study states that up to an astonishing 50% of cancer cases could have been prevented with effective and inexpensive programmes in initial diagnosis, screening, treatment, and palliative care. With the annual economic burden of cancer well-exceeding US$1.16 trillion, the demand for medical facilities to detect and control this intricate disease at the earliest is surfacing the global healthcare forum. Owing to this demand, the global cancer testing market or cancer screening market size is estimated to be $123 billion-$133 billion as of 2018 and is growing at a global CAGR of 4.5%-5.5% during the forecast period 2019-2025.
Cancer Testing Market Outlook:
Cancer testing or screening plays an important role in the detection of various types of cancer before the appearance of symptoms. The main aim of cancer testing is to reduce the number of deaths caused by cancer. Early diagnosis can lead to better treatment and a greater lifespan. Some of the cancer prevention testing-screening tests include various medical imaging tests, screening mammography, endoscopy tests, and biopsy tests.
After an acute analysis of the regional market segments, the Americas is figured to be the leading region, encapsulating nearly 50%-55% of the global cancer testing market demand. The sheer affluence can be explained by the fact that alone in the United States, the number of cancer cases registered in 2018 was estimated to be 1,735,350 (1.7 million).[2] Similarly, the Canadian Cancer Society states that about 1 in 2 Canadians will develop cancer in their lifetimes and 1 in 4 will die of the disease.[3] Cancer screening-testing being an expensive medical procedure has found the scope of application in high-income countries only as of right now. However, government support and indigenous technologies from countries such China, India, and Japan is helping the market penetration and mass commercialization. The majority of low-income economies with inaccessible diagnosis and treatment facilities stands out as potential spots to be capitalized upon by the cancer-screening testing market players.
Cancer Screening Market Growth Drivers and Trends:
‘Liquid biopsy’ is one of the latest technology emerging in the market which would help in early detection of various cancers by scanning for DNA fragments which are shed by tumor cells. Companies such SRBI healthcare, GRAIL Inc., and others are raising funds for early diagnosis of cancer.
In recent years, Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) is being widely used for the detection of various types of cancer. NGS allows simultaneous sequencing of targeted genomic areas in multiple samples to detect mutations. The main advantage of this method is the need of low amount of DNA or RNA.
Swiss startup SOPHiA Genetics has used Artificial Intelligence (AI) that takes raw genome data and studies the molecular profile of a person’s cancer to find more personalized treatment options. This technology helps the doctors to understand the cause of cancer and what best treatment can be suggested for the molecular events that are taking place in the body. It is also predicted that AI would be the future of cancer diagnostics.
Research and campaigns run by several organization regarding timely screening and cancer diagnosis are also disrupting the cancer-testing marketplace and progressing it towards broader commercialization. For example- Centers for Disease Control and Prevention campaign ‘Screen for Life’. American Cancer Society in 2017 invested $145 million in cancer research, $129 million in prevention information, and $80 million in detection.
