A glioma is a type of tumor that originates in the brain and is also known as a primary brain tumor. There are numerous types of gliomas which are entitled based on the origin of the cell type including oligodendrogliomas, astrocytoma, ependymomas, and glioblastoma. Nearly 33 percent of all brain tumors are gliomas. These originate in glial cells surrounding the neurons in the brain. According to the American Brain Tumor Association, more than 79,000 new cases of primary brain tumors were diagnosed in 2017 with 24.7% of those being gliomas.
Astrocytoma is the most common types of glioma diagnosed worldwide, as more than 30% of all the diagnosed cases with brain tumors are astrocytoma. These types of tumors are not curable as they spread easily through normal brain tissue. The American Brain Tumor Association has evaluated that around 7% of all the primary brain tumors represent astrocytoma.
The expanding market for the treatment of brain cancer-associated symptoms, the increasing prevalence of brain cancer, and innovations in drug delivery to brain cancer cells are some of the key factors augmenting the demand in the global glioma diagnosis and treatment market. Furthermore, the introduction of novel therapies coupled with various organizations generating awareness and increasing geriatric population are factors driving the growth of the global glioma diagnosis and treatment market.
Global Glioma Diagnosis and Treatment market is expected to grow at a CAGR of approximately 10.1% during the forecast period, 2017–2023.
