Cancer Diagnostics (Tumor Biomarker Tests, Imaging, Endoscopy and Biopsy) Market 2014 - 2020
M2 - Tue Nov 18, 9:30AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/cgz62c/cancer) has announced the addition of the "Cancer Diagnostics Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2014 - 2020" report to their offering. Imaging, endoscopy, biopsy and tumor biomarker tests altogether comprise the global cancer diagnostics market. Imaging for cancer detection remains the largest segment in the cancer diagnostics market owing to its utilization in detection of almost every cancer type. MRI, PET, CT, mammography and ultrasound are the major imaging modalities, of which, CT scan and ultrasound imaging account for more than two-third of the total cancer imaging market. A tumor biomarker test is a segment in the cancer diagnostics market with highest research activity. Cancer biomarkers are increasingly being applied in cancer diagnostics; a highly sensitive and specific biomarker essentially helps in better diagnosis, monitoring and prognosis of cancer. Protein-based biomarkers such as alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), cancer embryonic antigen (CEA), prostate-specific antigen (PSA) are among the prominently used tumor biomarkers. The market for cancer diagnostics is majorly driven by demand from the patients affected with cancers of lung, breast, and colorectal cancer. Lung cancer is the most common cancer of all types and approximately 1.8 billion new cases of lung cancer were diagnosed in 2012. The increasing use of tobacco products in developing nations, particularly in BRICS countries, is contributing to the growing prevalence of lung cancer in the world. In 2013, the global lung cancer diagnostics market accounted for one-fourth of the global cancer diagnostics market revenue. In addition, the rising prevalence of breast cancer among women across the world, particularly in the Asia Pacific, is expected to drive the market for breast cancer diagnostics at the highest CAGR of 8.2% during the forecast period 2014 to 2020. The global cancer diagnostics market is led by players such as Abbott Laboratories, Ambry Genetics, AstraZeneca, bioMerieux, Eli Lilly and Co., Roche, GlaxoSmithKline plc, Novartis, and Pfizer.

Global survey of more than 10,000 adults highlights misperceptions about lung cancer, a disease that kills 1.59 million people annually
PR Newswire - Tue Nov 18, 6:00AM CST
A new global survey of more than 10,000 adults in 10 countries finds that a large majority of the general public feel they know little or nothing about lung cancer (84%), a devastating disease that is responsible for 1.59 million deaths annually, more than breast, colorectal and prostate cancers combined1,2,4. The "Any One Any Lung" survey uncovered not only a significant lack of understanding about the widespread impact of lung cancer, but also a critical absence of knowledge around the role of genetic changes in the development of the disease1. These knowledge gaps and misperceptions may lead to undue blame placed on the patient, negatively affecting those impacted by lung cancer and in need of support.
