Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men after skin cancer. Prostate cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the prostate. Signs of prostate cancer include a weak flow of urine or frequent urination. Other than skin cancer, prostate cancer is the most common cancer in American men. As per the estimates revealed by the American Cancer Society, prostate cancer in the US for 2021 is about 248,530 new cases registered for prostate cancer. However, about 34,130 deaths are registered from prostate cancer. Additionally, prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in American men, behind only lung cancer. About 1 man in 41 will die of prostate cancer according to the estimates released by the American Cancer Society.

Prostate Cancer Treatment Market Report Coverage

What's New In Prostate Cancer Treatment?

Radiation is a common treatment for prostate cancer. It helps to damage tumor cells and causes them to die. As per Clinicaltrials.gov, the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC) (National Cancer Institute (NCI) is conducting detailed imaging studies to overlook at the results of local radiation therapy for the treatment of prostate cancer. The radiation therapy is conducted on patients suffering from Prostatic Neoplasms and Prostate Cancer. The actual start date was recorded on November 2013 and the estimated completion date is February 2028.

Research And Development (R&D) Is Racing To Bolster Several Treatment Options

National Cancer Institute (NCI)-supported researchers are developing new imaging techniques that improve the diagnosis of recurrent prostate cancer. A protein called prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is found in large amounts and almost exclusively in prostate cells. Through a fusion of molecules that bind to PSMA to a compound used in positron emission tomography (PET) scan imaging, scientists are able to view tiny deposits of prostate cancer that are small in size to get detected by regular imaging. Additionally, American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy, Gene and cell therapies represent an exciting option for the treatment and prevention of prostate cancer. Currently, there are 157 clinical trials comprising gene therapies for prostate cancer and a staggering 1040 trials involving cell therapies. Moreover, the development of initial gene and cellular therapies is an emerging topic for the researchers that have come to light for prostate cancer through providing treatment options with hormonal or chemotherapy. For instance, byte (bi-specific antibody) therapy and chimeric antigen receptor therapy (CART) against the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA). Prostate stem cell antigen is actively under investigation and radio-labeled lutein antibodies directed against PSMA have completed phase III trials and it represents to become mainstays of both imaging and treatment.

Rising Awareness Regarding Prostate Cancer Treatment Among The Population Is Having 100% Gains In The Forecast Period

As per the New Zealand Government, men and their families are able to make informed decisions and receive consistent support for the early detection and treatment of prostate cancer. This is achieved by greater access to information on prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing. With strong support from the Health Committee for the early detection and treatment of prostate cancer, it has resulted in the decline of the cases registered due to prostate cancer. Evidence suggests that level of access to healthcare is associated with the quality of the outcome of prostate cancer. In February 2012, the Ministry appointed the Prostate Cancer Taskforce (the Taskforce) to support the development of the quality improvement program. The healthcare providers play a pivotal role in shaping the decision with men about checking for prostate cancer and the management of men with diagnosed prostate cancer. For the majority of men, general practitioners (GPs) are the first point of contact in the healthcare system. The outcome of the interaction determines whether men will have a PSA test coupled with influencing or referring to a urologist for a prostate biopsy.

Prostate Cancer Treatment Market Segmentation          

The worldwide prostate cancer treatment market segmentation is based on the drug type, distribution channel, and geography.

Prostate Cancer Treatment Market By Drug Type

• Chemotherapy
• Biological Therapy
• Hormone Therapy
• Others

According to a prostate cancer treatment industry analysis, the hormone therapy segment would dominate the global market in 2021. Product approvals by authorized bodies, increasing demand for hormone therapy drugs, and availability of generic drugs coupled by pharmaceutical companies. According to the National Cancer Institute (NCI), several new approaches related to hormone therapy are developed for advanced or metastatic prostate cancer for clinical use. Over the course of time, many prostate cancers that originally respond to treatment with standard hormone therapy become resistant to time, resulting in castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Currently, three newer drugs have shown to extend survival in men with CRPC. These involve Enzalutamide (Xtandi), Abiraterone (Zytiga), and Darolutamide (Nubeqa). These newer drugs block the action of hormones that drives CRPC. For instance, in May 2020, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), approved "rucaparib". This is a new medication to treat some patients suffering from prostate cancer. Additionally, "olaparib" was approved by the FDA for certain metastatic prostate cancer that is less responsive to hormone therapy.

Prostate Cancer Treatment Market By Distribution Channel

• Hospitals Pharmacies
• Drug Stores & Retail Pharmacies
• Online Pharmacies

According to the prostate cancer treatment market forecast, the hospital pharmacies segment will contribute significantly to market growth during the predicted year. This is attributed to the presence of hospital pharmacies across the globe, the surge in the number of hospitalized prostate cancer patients, and the convenience offered by hospital pharmacies. It is witnessed that online pharmacies are the fastest growing segment in the forecast period due to rising awareness regarding online pharmacies, increasing number of internet users, and surging preference for online purchase of drugs over the traditional methods.
