The appendix is a tube-like structure, which is three to six inches long and is attached to the colon. It is situated in the lower right part of the abdomen. Appendiceal cancer or the cancer of the appendix is mostly found after the patients have surgery for acute appendicitis or when an abdominal mass is seen on a computerized tomography scan. The global appendiceal cancer treatment market is expected to grow significantly over the forecast period.
Several factors such as a rise in targeted and innovative therapies confined to appendiceal cancer and increased awareness about the severity of the disease are anticipated to drive the growth of the market. According to the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), acute appendicitis is the most common cause in the US for an attack of severe, acute abdominal pain that requires an abdominal operation
Segmentation
The global appendiceal cancer treatment market has been segmented into type, treatment, and end-user.
The market, on the basis of type, has been segmented into neuroendocrine tumors and carcinomas.
The market, based on carcinomas, has been sub-segmented into mucinous adenocarcinoma, goblet cell carcinoids, intestinal-type adenocarcinoma, signet-ring cell adenocarcinoma, and paraganglioma.
The market, by treatment, has been segmented into surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.
The market, based on surgery, has been further segmented into appendectomy, hemicolectomy, and cytoreduction.
The market, based on chemotherapy, has been sub-segmented into hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy and systemic chemotherapy. The hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy segment is expected to be the largest segment due to its specificity to treat appendiceal cancer and also the high efficacy of drugs, whereas systemic chemotherapy is expected to be the fastest growing segment. This rapid growth is due to increasing awareness about the chemotherapeutic treatment and its increasing adoption rate by patients.
The market, by end-user, has been segmented into hospitals and clinics, cancer research institutes, and others.
