Challenges and Emerging Opportunities in Cancer

But, many research studies have shown that certain risk factors that may increase the possibility of cancer are excessive exposure to the chemicals, development of obesity, family history of cancer, and poor lifestyle.

The oncology drug market is enormously growing from past years and is expected to value at $178 billion by 2023.

After this much growth, pharmaceutical companies still face many challenges such as patient enrollment and retention in cancer-research studies, early patient expiration, high cost of cancer-research, and high treatment demand in cancer drug development.

But, patient enrollment and retention in clinical studies are the biggest challenges for the pharmaceutical companies and their clinical researchers to develop new treatment or diagnostic methods.

This is obvious because the patient pool for certain cancers is very less and above that, cancer studies require long follow-up periods for successful completion.

On the other hand, due to limited patient retention, it becomes tough for doctors to retain all patients for a long time, which lead to studying failure or termination.
