Overview of the drug development pipeline for laryngeal cancer
Laryngeal cancer, also known as larynx cancer, is a type of head and neck cancer where tumor cells are formed in the tissues of the larynx. The larynx is a part of the throat, and it is situated between the tongue and trachea. The causes of laryngeal cancer are smoking, eating tobacco, and drinking excessive alcohol. It can also be caused due to the human papillomavirus. Exposure to some chemical substance such as formaldehyde, nickel, isopropyl alcohol, and regular exposure to high levels of wood dust, coal dust, paint fumes, coal as a source of fuel can result in laryngeal cancer. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), around 10,000 men and approximately 2,500 women are diagnosed with laryngeal cancer in the US every year. Combination therapy is emerging as the most efficient approach for the treatment of laryngeal cancer.
According to this pipeline analysis report, most of the drug molecules in the pipeline are being developed for head and neck cancer. Our market research analysts have also identified that most of these molecules are in the pre-clinical development stage and a considerable number of molecules have been discontinued from development.
