Bowen disease, also called as squamous cell carcinoma in situ, is a rare type of skin disorder characterized by development of slow-growing, red/pink scaly patches on the skin. These scaly patches are mostly observed in those areas of the body which are exposed to sun such as hands, legs, and others. Bowen disease is a noninvasive form of intraepidermal squamous cell carcinoma, which occurs only inside the epidermal (outer) layer of the skin. Scaly patches or lesions associated with Bowen disease are usually not painful and are easily treatable. These lesions may be flat or slightly raised and are usually not associated with any symptoms, but sometimes these lesions can show symptoms such as itch, pus, bleeding, and others. Lesions tend to grow very slowly over months or years, and can develop into squamous cell skin cancer if untreated. There is no proven cause of Bowen disease yet, but risk factors such as sun exposure, human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, immunosuppressive drugs, and others increase the risk of Bowen disease incidence.
Market Dynamics
The increasing incidence of Bowen disease, rising research and development activities for the development of novel therapeutics for the treatment of Bowen disease are the major factors that are expected to drive growth of the global Bowen disease treatment market over the forecast period. Moreover, increasing adoption of inorganic growth strategies such as acquisitions and collaborations by key players operating in the market are expected to boost the global Bowen disease market.
For instance, according to an article published in the Dermatologic Surgery journal in November 2019, the annual age-standardized incidence rates of Bowen disease in Caucasian population in Northern Europe per 100,000 people was found to be increased from 8.1 in 2003 to 68.9 in 2013 and is expected to increase in near future.
