GASTRIC CANCER THERAPEUTICS MARKET ANALYSIS

Regional Analysis

Increasing prevalence of the disease in the Asia to drive growth of overall gastric cancer therapeutics market

Survival rate for stomach cancer is greatly dependent upon the stage or phase of the disease during diagnosis. The earlier the stage of the disease progression, the higher is the survival rate. In Asia Pacific, the majority of the cases are detected at the later stage of the disease and predominantly among the geriatric population. Growth of the geriatric population in the region is leading to a proportional increase in occurrence of gastric cancer. This factor, along with growing health awareness leading to a rise in demand for early detection would fuel growth of the gastric cancer therapeutics industry over the forecast period.
