PALM BEACH, Fla., Sept. 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FN Media Group News Commentary - Breast cancer is an illness in which the breast cells get uncontrollably large. The type of breast cancer depends on which cells in the breast become cancerous. Cancer cells removed during the biopsy are examined to check the presence of progesterone or estrogen receptor proteins. The hormones, i.e. estrogen and progesterone, encourage cancer growth when they bind to these receptors. If these receptors are present, cancers are classified as hormone receptor-positive or hormone receptor-negative (proteins). Breast cancer develops due to reasons, such as BRCA gene mutation and PIK3CA gene mutation etc. Ducts and lobules are the major components of a breast, and everything is held together by the connective tissue which surrounds it. Breast cancer develops where the ducts or lobules are located, and it can spread to other body parts via blood and lymph arteries. Breast cancer is metastasized when it spreads to other body regions. Advanced breast cancer is another word for metastatic breast cancer. Advanced breast cancer is defined in medical terms as breast cancer that has gone beyond the breast to other essential organs in the body, such as the bones, lungs, liver, or brain, to mention a few. Metastatic breast cancer usually develops months or years after a person has finished treatment for an early or locally advanced variety of breast cancer, such as stage I, II, or III. As a result, metastatic breast cancer is also known as distant recurrence. A report from Strategic Market Research predicted that the global metastatic breast cancer treatment market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 10.4% to reach $41.74 billion by 2030 during the period 2021-2030. The report said: “The most commonly prescribed treatments for metastatic breast cancer are chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Both of these treatments help to slow tumor growth. On the other hand, hormone therapy is the most successful treatment since it helps to limit the growth of cancer cells. The metastatic breast cancer treatment market trends like the introduction of more advanced technologies and rising demand for metastatic breast cancer therapies are some of the primary drivers driving the global market's growth.” Active biotech and pharma companies in the markets this week include Oncolytics Biotech® Inc.

PALM BEACH, Fla., June 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FN Media Group News Commentary - The National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) funding of research projects is predicted to empower the Pancreatic Cancer Market to grow. A report from Future Market Insights said that: “… the increasing adoption of therapeutic strategies is catapulting the pancreatic cancer market forward. Unlike traditional therapeutic methods such as chemotherapy, targeted therapy isolates receptor sites in cancer cells while causing no harm to the body's healthy peripheral cells. The industry is being influenced by the increasing prevalence of pancreatic cancer and the requirement for targeted therapy.” It continued: “The National Cancer Institute has sponsored several research programs dedicated to developing treatments and medications for pancreatic cancer. The Pancreatic Cancer Cohort Consortium, Pancreatic Cancer Cancer Detection Consortium (PCDC), Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) Stromal Reprogramming Consortium (PSRC), Pancreatic Cancer Microenvironment Network (PaCMEN), RAS Initiative, Pancreatic Specialized Programs of Research Excellence (Pancreatic SPOREs), and others are instances of financed projects. These programs each have their mission and targets, and they each seek to find novel solutions to the ailment. The Pancreatic Specialized Programs of Research Excellence (Pancreatic SPOREs), for instance, is an intervention designed to quickly implement principal scientific discoveries into medical settings. The Pancreatic SPORE grants promote novel and diverse methods of prevention and treatment.” Active biotech and pharma companies in the markets this week include Oncolytics Biotech® Inc.

PALM BEACH, Fla., June 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FN Media Group News Commentary - Pancreatic cancer is among the most frequently diagnosed and the seventh leading cause of cancer death globally. Pancreatic cancer becomes more common in the Western world. The prevalence rate of pancreatic adenocarcinoma is expanding in the developed world, and adaptive lifestyle habits such as alcohol and obesity may play a critical role. A report from Future Market Insights projects that the global pancreatic cancer market is projected to accelerate at a CAGR of 13.5% to top US$ 7,541.09 Million by 2033. The report said: “Despite advances in surgical technique, chemotherapy treatments, and the emergence of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, five-year survivorship from this ailment is as low as 2.5% in certain countries. The total number of reported cases of pancreatic cancer in the 7MM nations was around 175,770 in 2021, and this was predicted to increase market growth during the historical period. The upsurge of an unhealthy lifestyle and poor diet has heightened the number of individuals suffering from pancreatic diseases/conditions. The high incidence of diabetes patients has been mainly ascribed to the rising demand for packaged foods and beverages with elevated amounts of sugar, which also significantly contributes to the growing cases of pancreatic cancer patients. Thus, these factors will drive the market growth during the forecast period with a CAGR of 13.5%.” Active biotech and pharma companies in the markets this week include Oncolytics Biotech® Inc.
