Mordor Intelligence analysts forecasted the Europe Liver Cancer Market to grow at a CAGR of 7-15% over the period, 2016-2021. The market is currently valued at USD 176 million for the year 2015.
In the past 30 years there has been major progress in the knowledge and management of liver disease. Yet, approximately 29 million people in the European Union still suffer from one or the other chronic liver condition. Therefore, the liver cancer medication market is anticipated to become an active ground for competition in the near future. In Europe, 28% of the cases of liver cancer have been attributed to chronic HBV infection, and 21% to HCV infection. Other risk factors such as alcohol consumption, cigarette smoking and oral contraceptives may explain the residual variation within countries. Interactions among these risk factors have been postulated. New laboratory techniques and biological markers such as polymerase chain reaction detection of HBV DNA and HCV RNA, as well as specific mutations related to liver cancer, may help to provide quantitative estimates of the risks related to each these factors.
With only a few approved drugs within the market and another few in the pipeline, it is a proven fact that incidence and mortality from the sickness continues to rise worldwide. Many new-targeted therapies are expected to enter the market in the following few years. Targeted cancer therapies use medication to prevent the expansion of cancer cells by interrupting certain molecules, known as molecular targets, thereby preventing the progression and growth of cancer cells. The treatment, also known as 'molecular targeted therapy', focuses on the cellular and molecular changes, pertaining specifically to cancer. It is thereby more effective, as compared to the other treatments for cancer, including radiotherapy and chemotherapy..
