I found this very interesting in the news yesterday for $IVST :
ABTA: Forecasts 80,000 New Cases of Primary Brain Tumors This Year
Brain cancers seem to not receive the same level of attention and awareness as other forms of the disease. However, in July 2017, Arizona Senator John McCain announced that he had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer, glioblastoma. Glioblastomas are the most common form of brain cancer in adults today.
“Glioblastoma can be difficult to treat. Average survival for malignant glioblastoma tends to be about 14 months with treatment,” says Dr. Sanjay Gupta, a practicing neurosurgeon.
As first-line treatments continue to focus on chemotherapy and radiation, medical professionals are increasingly searching for more advanced methods to treat these forms of cancer.
"The brain tumor community is very united in our quest for finding better treatments for our patients, and I think the progress will come through clearly planned and orchestrated clinical trials, looking at both approaches, immunotherapies and appropriate uses of targeted therapies, which will go and attack the genes that drive a particular tumor," says Dr. Manmeet Ahluwalia, a brain tumor oncologist and director of the brain metastasis program at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio.
According to the American Brain Tumor Association, an estimated 80,000 new cases of primary brain tumors will be diagnosed this year. Another 17,000 people are estimated to lose their battle with a primary brain or CNS tumor this year.
According to GBI Research, global revenues for the cancer vaccine market are forecast to grow from $2.5 billion in 2015 to $7.5 billion in 2022, which represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.93%.
