Market Report, "OpportunityAnalyzer: Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma", published

From: Fast Market Research, Inc.
Published: Fri May 13 2016


The head and neck cancer (HNC) market is one currently dominated by generic chemotherapies, with little competition from branded therapies. The market landscape is set to undergo substantial growth between 2014 and 2024. The main drivers of growth will be an increase in the diagnosed HNC population and the launch of multiple premium-priced metastatic therapies, led by the class of immuno-oncology products. Historically, cytotoxic chemotherapies have comprised the bulk of the HNC market. Little competition between targeted therapies currently exists in the HNC market, leaving an area of considerable opportunity for interested new comers. Cisplatin is the standard treatment for HNC, due to its greater efficacy over other chemotherapy agents. However, as a cytotoxic agent, its use is limited by its high toxicity and poor safety profile.
