Market Challenges And Opportunities

Esophageal Cancer Drugs Market - Restraints

However, high cost of therapy for the treatment of esophageal cancer is expected to restraint the market growth. For instance, as per the report published in Healthday, in 2013, cancer patients paid US$ 207,000 per year for the treatment and medications while in 1995, the cost was US$ 54,100 per year.

Moreover, the side effects caused by esophageal cancer drugs are loss of appetite and weight loss, fatigue, diarrhea, hair loss, sore mouth, hand-foot syndrome, low blood cell counts, blood clots (deep vein thrombosis), nervous system damage, and heart damage. According to the 2017 report of the American Cancer Society (ACS), side effects of esophageal cancer drugs such as Cisplatin, oxaliplatin, docetaxel, and paclitaxel can cause major damage to nerves outside the brain and spinal cord.
