NEPHROBLASTOMA TREATMENT MARKET ANALYSIS

The rare kidney cancer nephroblastoma, sometimes called wilms' tumor, typically affects young people. Children with nephroblastoma are most frequently affected between the ages of 3 and 4, cases after age 5 are substantially less prevalent. Although it can occasionally be seen in both kidneys at the same time, nephroblastoma typically only affects one kidney. When cells experience DNA errors, cancer develops. The errors cause the cells to grow and divide uncontrollably. The accumulating cells then form a tumor. This process takes place in the kidney cells in nephroblastoma.

Global nephroblastoma treatment market is estimated to be valued at US$ 1,653.0 million in 2022 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.6% during the forecast period (2022-2030).

Rising research and development activities by key players for the treatment of nephroblastoma are expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.

Key players in market are focused on carrying out research and development activities for the development of drugs used to treat nephroblastoma, which is expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period. For instance, the Children's Oncology Group, a clinical trials group supported by the National Cancer Institute, is currently studying the effect of combination chemotherapy and surgery in treating young patients with wilms tumor. As of August 4, 2022, the study is currently in phase 3 of its clinical trial and the study is expected to be completed by November 2023.

Global Nephroblastoma Treatment Market– Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

Since the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to over 100 countries across the globe and the World Health Organization had declared it a public health emergency on January 30, 2020.

COVID-19 can affect the economy in three main ways: by directly affecting production and demand, by creating disruptions in distribution channels, and through its financial impact on firms and financial markets. Due to nationwide lockdowns, several countries, such as China, India, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, and others, are facing problems with regards to the transportation of products from one place to another.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative economic impact on the global nephroblastoma treatment market, owing to the delay in routine screening of cancer. For instance, according to an article published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, in September 2021, on March 16, 2020, the U.K., postponed routine screening for cancer in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Global Nephroblastoma Treatment Market: Restraint

The major factor that hinders growth of the global nephroblastoma treatment market includes high treatment cost of nephroblastoma. For instance, according to an article published by the American Society of Clinical Oncology, in November 2018, the cost for a full course of treatment and follow-up was determined to be between US$ 1,490 and US$ 2,093 for a patient with nephroblastoma according to the study at the Butaro Cancer Center of Excellence (BCCOE), located at the Butaro District Hospital in rural northern Rwanda, Central Africa.
