Targeted cancer therapies market is growing due to the increasing incidences of cancers such as breast cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, gastrointestinal cancer and among others. For instance, according to the American Cancer Society reports nearly 1.7 million new cancer cases are expected to be diagnosed in 2019 in the U.S. Similarly, according to the National Cancer Institute, in 2018, around 1,735,350 new cases of cancer were diagnosed in U.S. and 609,640 people died from the disease.
Targeted cancer therapies are drugs which block the growth and proliferation of cancer by interfering with specific molecules such as DNA or proteins, which are involved in the growth or expansion of cancerous cells. Targeted cancer therapies differ in several ways from standard chemotherapy. Standard chemotherapy act on all rapidly dividing cancerous cells as well as normal cells, while targeted cancer therapies act on specific molecular targets that are associated with cancer. Standard chemotherapy agents are cytotoxic that kill tumor cells, while targeted therapies are often cytostatic that blocks tumor cell proliferation. Targeted therapies uses information about a person’s gene and protein to prevent, diagnose, and treat disease, which makes them extremely applicable in the making of precision medicine. Targeted therapy drugs are mainly used for the treatment of cancer, and are mostly used along with another treatments such as chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation therapy.

However, increasing cancer research funding, rising insurance coverage and increase in number of new targeted anti-cancer drugs supports the revenue growth of targeted cancer therapies market. National Cancer Institute, in 2017, spent around US$ 147.3 on cancer care which include lung cancer, colorectal cancer, liver cancer, breast cancer, leukemia, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, and cervical cancer. Conversely, high prices associated with targeted therapies is expected to hamper the growth of targeted cancer therapies market.

Increased cost of therapy is a major constraint factor in the targeted cancer therapies market

Targeted therapy drugs are very expensive, costs more than US$ 14,000 per patient in the initial stage of treatment. For instance, According to the study published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, in 2017, the drugs used in targeted therapy treatment are expensive and the total treatment by drug is approximately US$5,000 to US$10,000 monthly which totals over US$100,000 annually. According to the American Institute of Cancer Research (AICR), in U.S., cancer treatment costs more than any other disease, accounted for around US$ 895 billion a year and is expected to hinder the growth of the market during the forecast period.
