Global chemotherapy treatment industry overview
Chemotherapy drugs cause several side effects such as peripheral neuropathy, vomiting and nausea, hypersensitivity reactions, neutropenia, and gastrointestinal side effects. This has led to the development of several drugs to counter these side-effects. Antiemetics such as palonosetron, dolasetron, granisetron, and tropisetron are used to treat chemotherapy-induced vomiting and nausea. Similarly, colony-stimulating factor (agents) such as filgrastim and pegfilgrastim are used to treat neutropenia and stimulate the production of neutrophils from the bone marrow. The availability of such drugs to treat chemotherapy-induced side effects is expected to drive the growth of the chemotherapy treatment market during the forecast period.
The increase in drug resistance has led to the development of combination therapies. Combination therapy has the potential to reduce drug resistance as tumors are expected to have less resistance to multiple drugs. Many vendors are developing combination therapies with chemotherapy drugs besides targeted therapies. Most of the combination therapy drugs are currently in Phase III of clinical trials and is expected to receive marketing approval over the forecast period. The development of combination therapies is one of the key trends that will fuel the growth of the chemotherapy treatment market at a CAGR of nearly 3% during the forecast period.
