Multicancer Screening Market - A Global and Regional Analysis: Focus on Test Type, Technology, Sample, Method, Cancer Type, Application, End User, and Region Analysis - Analysis and Forecast, 2023-2032

Global Multicancer Screening Market Industry Overview

The global multicancer screening market is projected to reach $7.78 billion by 2032 from $1.90 billion in 2022, growing at a CAGR of 15.09% during the forecast period 2023-2032. The growth in the global multicancer screening market is expected to be driven by the increased use of liquid biopsy testing and increasing prevalence of cancers.

Market Lifecycle Stage

Multicancer screening is a cancer screening test that has the potential to screen for more than one cancer type with a single test. This test can be tissue-based or liquid biopsy-based. Most of the newly developed multicancer screening tests in the market right now are liquid biopsy-based, which detects cancer biomarkers in bodily fluids such as blood, saliva, urine, etc. Biomarkers/genetic markers from RNA, DNA, or protein are analyzed from these samples. If any of these biomarkers or gene mutations are positive in the analysis, further follow-up tests need to be performed to confirm the findings.

Some multicancer screening tests can also identify the tissue of the origin of cancer, while others need imaging tests to verify the origin. There are a lot of laboratory-based multicancer screening tests available in the market right now, and a few have also received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and conformité européenne (CE) approvals as well. Multicancer screening tests are also important because, according to the America Cancer Society, Inc., 70% of all cancer deaths are from cancers that still do not have any proven individual screening tests. This can be extremely decreased with the advent of new biomarkers through increasing funding investments in multicancer screening tests.

Impact

• For instance, in October 2020, Exact Sciences Corporation launched Oncotype MAP Pan-Cancer Tissue test for patients with metastatic, advanced, recurrent, or refractory cancer. The Oncoptype MAP test provides clinically actionable information from hundreds of cancer-related genes that allows physicians to understand the tumor profile of patients and recommend effective clinical trials or targeted therapies.
• In February 2022, GRAIL, LLC. (Illumina, Inc.) collaborated with Point32Health for a two-phased pilot trial of Galleri, which is GRAIL's proprietary multicancer blood test. With this collaboration, Point32Health is the first health plan that would work with GRAIL to complement the recommended cancer screenings.

Impact of COVID-19

In 2019, the world was hit by a pandemic. The culprit is coronavirus disease (COVID-19), which is an illness caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus. SARS-CoV-2 was found to be a novel type of coronavirus that started causing severe illness and deaths around the world. The global pandemic began in early 2020, causing mild respiratory tract infections to serious lower respiratory infections. The first case of coronavirus was reported in Wuhan, China, in December 2019.

According to an electronic medical record company, there was approximately an 80%-90% decline in screenings of breast, cervical, and colorectal cancers in patients during March and April of 2020 as compared to the same months in 2019. Even though screenings did increase in June 2020, they were still down by 29%-36%. Additionally, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, HPV vaccinations dropped by 73% between February and April 2020. The full impact of these delays will be realized in the coming years.
