Cancer Biomarkers Market, by Biomarker Type (Protein Biomarkers, Genetic Biomarkers, and Other Cancer Biomarkers), by Cancer Type (Breast Cancer, Lung Cancer, Prostate Cancer, Kidney Cancer, Liver Cancer, and Other Cancers), by End User (Hospitals, Academic and Cancer Research Institutes, Ambulatory Surgical Centers, and Cancer Diagnostic Laboratories), and by Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa) - Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022 - 2030
Cancer biomarkers offers great opportunity in improving management of cancer patients by enhancing the efficiency of detection and efficacy of the treatment. Biomarkers of cancer includes various biochemical components such as proteins, sugars, lipids, nucleic acids, small metabolites, cytogenetic and cytokinetic parameters, and whole tumor cells, which are found in body fluid. Molecular alterations used for cancer diagnosis involves application of DNA, RNA, microRNAs, and proteins.
Biomarker testing is a way to look for genes, proteins, and other substances (called biomarkers or tumor markers) that can provide information about cancer. Each person’s cancer has a unique pattern of biomarkers. Some biomarkers affect how certain cancer treatments work. Biomarker testing may help the doctor choose a cancer treatment for you. Biomarker testing for cancer treatment may also be called: tumor testing, tumor genetic testing, genomic testing or genomic profiling, molecular testing or molecular profiling, somatic testing, and tumor subtyping. Biomarker testing is different from genetic testing that is used to find out if someone has inherited mutations that make them more likely to get cancer. Inherited mutations are those you are born with. They are passed on to an individual by parents.
Market Dynamics
Increasing research and development activities in the field of cancer biomarker to develop and identify potential cancer biomarkers for early diagnosis of cancer, is expected to drive growth of the global cancer biomarkers market, in the near future. For instance, in March 2018, a team of researchers from University of Massachusetts and Clarkson University discovered various protein such as human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), lipoproteins, α1-chymotrypsin and α1-antitrypsin from breast milk, which can act as a potential cancer biomarker in detection of breast cancer.
