The Current Market for Chemotherapies is Estimated at US$42 Billion and is Forecast to Increase Approximately 17% to US$49 Billion by 2012.


DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c36303) has announced the addition of the new Spectra Intelligence report "Chemotherapy Market Insights, 2006-2016: A Critical Analysis of Cancer Research, Treatments, Pipelines, and Commercial Opportunities" to their offering

"The chemotherapy market is currently the fastest growing in the pharmaceutical industry, driven by the explosion of potential therapeutic targets revealed by the molecular genetic assessments of cancer biology and fuelled by the magnitude of the disease worldwide, which shows every indication of increased incidence and sustained mortality rates over the next decade" says expert report author Dr Sarah Crawford PhD, Associate Professor of Biology and Director of Experimental Chemotherapy at Southern Connecticut State University This article or section is written like an .

With more than 25 million people affected by cancer globally, and an estimated 5 million people dying each year as a result of cancer, new treatments are clearly needed to curtail these high mortality statistics despite the availability of effective cancer drugs such as Herceptin and Avastin. Dr Crawford cautions however that although there are very exciting and promising novel cancer therapeutics on the horizon with limitless potential, enthusiasm must be tempered by the need to identify those chemotherapy approaches that may have the greatest potential for therapeutic success and suggests that there is a need to distinguish important new entries to the cancer therapeutics market from those therapy approaches that may not fare as well on the world market.

Biopharmaceutical industry analyst Tim Atkinson, who reviewed the report, said "Dr Crawford has provided an exceptionally comprehensive first-rate analysis of our current understanding of cancer biology, cancer treatment approaches, diagnosis and management, and hopes for the future given the complexity and heterogeneity of this devastating dev·as·tate

 disease. The report uniquely highlights the deficiencies and possibilities of cancer research and cancer drug development, which will undoubtedly help to create significant market opportunities and change the landscape for cancer treatments in the future."

Dr Crawford adds "The world of molecular medicine and biopharmaceuticals has presented great opportunities to discover and develop new pharmacological approaches with prospects for greater therapeutic efficacy and more promising clinical outcomes.

The term is used to refer to a myriad of functions and conditions in which two or more different methods, processes or forms of delivery are used. On the Web, it refers to asking for something one way and receiving the answer another; for example requesting  chemotherapy treatment regimens that combined with an ever-evolving understanding of the intricacies of cancer and the identification of new potential cell targets, will be the some of the new weapons in our fight against cancer".
