Dublin, March 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The report “Merkel Cell Carcinoma Disease Treatment Market – Forecast 2021 to 2026” has been added to from ResearchAndMarkets.com offer.
Merkel Cell Carcinoma Treatment Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.37% during the forecast period to reach US$3.782 billion by 2026, from US$2.999 billion in 2019 .
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare skin cancer that develops from malignant cancer cells. After melanoma, Merkel cell carcinoma is the second most common cause of death from skin cancer. Merkel cell cancer is caused by a weakened immune system and excessive sun exposure.
One of the key drivers driving the Merkel cell carcinoma disease treatment market over the forecast period is the growing number of Merkel cell carcinoma cases globally. The increase in cases has influenced the demand for new drugs for the treatment of Merkel cell carcinoma. Additionally, strong adoption of immunotherapy and favorable reimbursement are seen as encouraging indicators for the growth of Merkel cell carcinoma treatment. The market is expected to grow owing to the increase in research and development initiatives for the treatment of Merkel cell carcinoma.
Merkel cell carcinoma treatment market growth is limited by high treatment costs, cancellation of late-stage clinical trials, lack of public awareness, and side effects during the forecast period. Nausea, skin changes, diarrhea, painful sores in the throat and mouth, exhaustion, dry mouth or thick saliva are all side effects of external radiation therapy. The negative effects of radiation are transient, although some infrequent significant side effects may become permanent. Radiation therapy to the chest can sometimes cause lung damage, which can lead to breathing problems and shortness of breath.
Key developments
Nantkwest, Inc. (Immunitybio) announced in January 2019 the start of a Phase 2 clinical study of triple combination immunotherapy for the treatment of Merkel cell cancer. KEYTRUDA was approved by the FDA in December 2018 for the treatment of pediatric and adult patients with metastatic or recurrent Merkel cell carcinoma. On July 9, 2019, the Patient Advocate Foundation, a non-profit organization, offered funds to MCC patients to help cover treatment-related travel costs. Once accepted, the financial fund will pay $450 in one-time assistance to cover transportation costs to and from treatment appointments. According to the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, a multidisciplinary team from the University of Washington and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center was awarded a five-year, $12 million grant to study Merkel cell cancer on April 16, 2019.
By therapy, the Merkel cell carcinoma disease treatment market is segmented into chemotherapy, radiotherapy, combination therapies, surgical excision, immunotherapy and others. Etoposide, cisplatin, carboplatin and topotecan are the different types of chemotherapy. Due to increasing research and reimbursement, the chemotherapy segment is expected to dominate the market over the projected period. Pembrolizumab and avelumab are two types of immunotherapy drugs. Due to the approval of immune checkpoint inhibitors, immunotherapy is expected to increase at a high rate during the forecast period.
By type of test, the Merkel cell carcinoma disease treatment market is segmented into computerized axial tomography, positron emission tomography, biopsy test, immunohistochemistry test and others. PET scans are effective and can be used to assess the presence of disease or other disorders in organs and/or tissues.
By end users, the Merkel cell carcinoma disease treatment market is segmented into hospitals, home care, surgical centers, specialty clinics and others. The preference for hospitals is expected to fuel the growth of the segment owing to the availability of innovative technologies and a large number of facilities available at a single location.
By geography, the Merkel cell carcinoma disease treatment market is segmented into five regions North America, Europe, South America, Middle East & Africa and Asia-Pacific. Due to increasing cases of skin cancer and favorable government regulations along with modern healthcare facilities, North America will hold the largest market share for Merkel cell carcinoma therapy during the projected period, followed by Europe. Due to the increase in government programs and the rapid aging of the population, Asia-Pacific has become the fastest growing regional category in terms of income. Additionally, China and Australia are experiencing an increase in the incidence of Merkel cell carcinoma, increasing the need for treatment in these countries.
Information on COVID-19
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, lockdown measures have been put in place, preventing patient movement and likely identification and overburdening healthcare systems. Small practices have closed completely, while larger businesses are currently responding to emergencies. This, in turn, will have a major impact on the Merkel cell carcinoma market. The COVID 19 outbreak would result in an extremely slow turnaround time for patients undergoing select procedures.
