Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/hp4cd3/us_blood_cancer) has announced the addition of the "US Blood Cancer Drug Market & Pipeline Analysis 2015" report to their offering. Chemotherapeutic drugs are widely used therapeutics for the treatment of blood cancer in US. The future would witness a novel chemotherapeutics which are currently under various stages of research and development. Liposomal, pegylated and other improved versions are being made to offer higher therapeutic benefit along with minimized side effects. This will also help in increasing the number of indications and market volume by introduction of new chemotherapeutic products. They would have higher safety and efficacy levels as compared to their traditional counterparts. It will help in occupying large market shares and compete effectively with presently available drugs. Monoclonal antibodies are known for their superior pharmacological profiles and fewer side effects due to which they are widely accepted. Few monoclonal antibodies have been already introduced in US market. They have been able to generate significant revenues which are encouraging pharmaceutical companies to venture in this segment. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors are another major component of this market which has received lots of commercial success owing to their superior pharmacological efficacy. Both of them are far superior then chemotherapeutics and it is expected that blood cancer drugs belonging to different drug categories would be introduced in US market. Innovative blood cancer therapeutics is likely to generate huge revenues for the pharmaceutical companies in the next few years. However, few hurdles have to be passed like heterogeneous nature of blood cancer; it consists of different cells with different functions and it becomes difficult to eliminate them with single type of therapeutic.

This strategy is likely to be followed by other pharmaceutical companies due to which competition in multiple blood cancer segments will increase. Market introduction of such therapeutics is likely to be widely accepted leading to generation of significant revenues. More blood cancer therapeutics is likely to enter in US market due to which its size will increase.
