Market Overview
Prostate cancer occurs when abnormal cells in the prostate gland start to grow uncontrollably. The prostate gland is a small walnut-sized gland in men that produces seminal fluid, which protects and transports sperm. Castrate-resistant prostate cancer occurs after initial hormone treatments such as surgery or medication stop working to control the cancer cells’ growth and spread to other parts of the body. Castrate resistant prostate cancer treatments focus on slowing progression of the disease and relieving symptoms. They include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy and supportive care.
Market key trends
One of the major trends in the Castrate Resistant Prostate Cancer Market is increasing awareness programs about prostate cancer across the globe. Various organizations conduct awareness campaigns about symptoms, risk factors, screening and treatment options for prostate cancer. For instance, Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF) conducts awareness programs in the U.S. to educate men about prostate cancer risks and importance of early detection through screening tests such as PSA test and digital rectal exam. Such programs play a vital role in boosting early detection of prostate cancer, including castrate resistant prostate cancer, thereby driving the growth of the market. Another key trend is increasing research and development activities to develop advanced treatment approaches involving novel drugs and combination therapies. This is expected to offer effective treatment options and improve patient outcomes over the forecast period.
