As the name indicates, bone cancer develops in the skeletal system and degrades bone tissues. Bone cancer can be benign or malignant. Persistent bone pain, lump over bones, and weakness of bones are some of the common symptoms for the disease. If such symptoms remain unchecked, bone cancer can become life-threating. Thus, timely diagnosis and treatment of the disease is crucial. This provides the developmental backgrounds for market growth.
From the past few years, it has been observed that the prevalence of bone cancer has increased. Approximately 3,500 people were diagnosed with primary bone cancer in the US in 2018. Moreover, favorable reimbursement policies, increasing healthcare expenditure, rising R&D investments by the market key players, and growing awareness are estimated to drive the bone cancer market during the projected period. Therapeutic surgeries, including ablation therapy (against bone disease), are reimbursed under CPT code 20982. Such policies increase the number of patients who seek treatment for bone cancer.
However, the high cost of medicinal therapies and related side effects followed by poor healthcare infrastructure in developing countries is restricting the market growth.
Bone Cancer Market is estimated to grow at a healthy CAGR of 5.6% from 2018–2025.
