Global Hematological Cancers Market to 2022 - Commercially Successful Targeted Therapies and Large, Innovative Pipeline to Drive Market

Summary

Hematological malignancies are a class of cancer that affect the blood, lymph nodes and bone marrow. They include numerous forms of leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma. Hematological malignancies constituted 9% of all newly diagnosed malignancies in the US in 2011, with data indicating lymphomas are more prevalent than leukemias or myeloma. Excluding acute lymphocytic leukemia and Hodgkin’s lymphoma, these types of malignancy are generally associated with increasing age. Therefore, considering the aging population globally, this class of malignancy is likely to become more prevalent.

Over the past 15 years, the treatment of hematological malignancies has changed significantly, with the development of targeted therapies. These developments were based on the growing understanding of the signaling pathways involved in disease pathogenesis. Notable examples include the approval of rituximab in 1997, which is used to treat multiple types of hematological malignancies, including Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

Overall, there are 1,207 products in active development in the hematological cancer therapy area. The indications included in this disease cluster are classified under oncology, which is the largest therapy area in terms of pipeline products, consisting of 6,936 drugs in development. Hematological cancer has more active pipeline products than the respiratory and cardiovascular therapy areas, which indicates how active this disease cluster is in terms of product development.
