Cancer is a chronic disease that involves the abnormal growth of cells inside the body, which further results in the formation of tumor. If untreated, the tumor grows, and hampers the ability of the lungs to provide oxygen to the blood stream. Lung cancer is the malignant tumor and is the second most diagnosed cancer that has the highest mortality rate in both men and women. The lung cancer is primarily classified into non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). SCLC is a critical medical condition as compared to NSCLC due to its size and lack of availability of drug treatment. Some of the symptoms of lung cancer include coughing, shortness of breath, weight loss, chest pain and others. Chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and others are used in the treatment of lung cancer.
Rise in prevalence of lung cancer and increase in tobacco smoking across the globe. According to American Cancer Society in U.S. approximately 195,000 people are suffering from NSCLC every year and the mortality rate accounts for approximately 135,000. Innovative targeted drug delivery is also expected to fuel the market growth. However, limited treatment options, increased demand for diagnosis, and availability of large number of generic forms of drugs impede the growth of the global lung cancer therapeutic market. Asia-Pacific provides growth opportunities for the market due to high incidence of lung cancer, aging population, and growth in healthcare awareness during the forecast period.
