Kidney Cancer Drugs Market, by Therapy (Targeted Therapy, Immunotherapy and Chemotherapy), by Pharmacological Class (Angiogenesis Inhibitors, mTOR Inhibitors, Cytokines and Others (Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors, CTLA-4 inhibitors, Antimetabolites and Others)), by Distribution Channel (Hospital Pharmacies, Retail Pharmacies, and Online Pharmacies), and by Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa)- Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022 - 2030
Kidney cancer or renal carcinoma affects kidney cells to grow out of control and restrict the function of normal cells. Several risk factors associated with kidney cancer include smoking, obesity, workplace exposures substances such as cadmium, some herbicides, and organic solvents, particularly trichloroethylene, high blood pressure, advanced kidney disease, certain medicines, and genetic and hereditary risk factors. Clear cell renal cell carcinoma is the most common form of renal cell carcinoma. When seen in the lab, the cells that make up clear cell Renal Cell Carcinoma look very pale or clear. Increasing exposure of these risk factors offers lucrative growth outlook in the kidney cancer drugs market, over the forecast period. According to American Cancer Society, January 2018 data findings, kidney cancer was among the 10 most common cancers in the U.S. in both men and women. Men had a higher risk of developing kidney cancer, with about 1 in 48 men and 1 in 83 among women facing lifetime risk of developing kidney cancer. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) was the most common type of kidney cancer among all types of kidney cancer. In addition, according to same source, around 9 out of 10 kidney cancers were renal cell carcinomas.
Market Dynamics
Key players are engaged in developing cancer immunotherapy drugs to fight cancer and improve immune system. For instance, in January 2019, F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd., a healthcare company was working on Tecentriq (atezolizumab, anti-PDL1, RG7446, MPDL3280A), an engineered monoclonal antibody, that targets the ligand PD-L1 (programmed death ligand 1) aiming to prevent cancer immune evasion, which would be used as adjuvant treatment in renal cell carcinoma treatment. Tecentriq is in phase III stage.
