PALM BEACH, Fla., Dec. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- FinancialNewsMedia.com News Commentary - Breast cancer is cancer that develops in the breast tissue. Breast cancer signs include the formation of a lump in the breast and red patches on the skin. Obesity, lack of physical activity, excessive radiation exposure, and alcohol use are all risk factors for breast cancer. Breast cancer is more prevalent in developed countries than it is in developing countries. Post diagnosis, cancer therapy requires different procedures depending upon the form and severity of cancer. The cancer care market is increasing at a substantial pace due to the rise in the occurrence of cancer cases, growing knowledge among people about different stages, and availability of treatment of cancer. Breast cancer treatment relies on different factors, such as breast cancer origin, tumor size, and breast cancer phase, and cancer grade. Operations, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, and bone-led therapy are some of the most popular approaches used in the management of breast cancer. A report from Facts and Factors states that the global breast cancer treatment market was registered at about USD 19.24 Billion in 2019 and is expected to generate revenues worth around USD 34.06 Billion by end of 2026, effectively growing at a CAGR of around 8.5% between 2020 and 2026. Active biotech and pharma companies in the markets this week include Oncolytics Biotech Inc. (NASDAQ: ONCY) (TSX: ONC), Intra-Cellular Therapies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITCI), Galera Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: GRTX), Lineage Cell Therapeutics, Inc. (NYSE: LCTX), Gilead Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: GILD).

The report added: "The rising number of females diagnosed with breast cancer is a major driver of market development. Aside from this, the demand has grown due to the acceptance of unhealthy lifestyles, an increase in the women geriatric population, exposure to toxic radiation, and increased government initiatives. Since no absolute cure exists, there is room for the industry to develop globally. The global breast cancer treatment market is driven by America on a regional basis. The demand has grown as a result of changing lifestyles and the increased incidence of breast cancer in the United States. Europe is the market leader in breast cancer. The development of this market in America and Europe is due to technological advancements, increased life expectancy, and increased healthcare spending by people. The market is expected to expand at the fastest rate in the Asia Pacific."
