Oncology Market Leaders – Analyses and Outlook – 2010-2025

Cancer treatment is a global healthcare priority, one with rising therapeutic and commercial importance. Over 20 million new cases of cancer are predicted in 2025, compared with 12 million in 2008 (WHO). Furthermore, anti-cancer drug sales exceeded $50bn worldwide in 2009. The oncology drug market has grown impressively, driven by rising disease prevalence, expanding patient populations and technological advances, especially in biomolecular medicine. Current treatments are better-tolerated, more- effective and more-commercially-successful than ever before, our latest report shows.

Bone Cancer

The occurrence of the Bone Cancer is relatively rare it occurs only when some cancerous cells occurs in the bone. Normally the bones undergo the mitosis and suddenly the process of cell division increases rapidly leading to formation of mass of the abnormal cells which forms a lump known as the tumor. The tumor which has occurred in bone can be benign or malignant. Benign tumors are non-cancerous and malignant tumors are cancerous, so malignant tumors are called as cancers which an be either primary or secondary.

Bone Cancer Causes

There are two types of primary bone cancer such as osteosarcoma and Ewing’s sarcoma but their exact causes are yet to be found out. The researchers speculate that the oncogenes play a pivotal role in the onset of the primary bone cancer. Osteosarcoma mainly affects the knee bone of an individual who is either young or adolescent. Ewing’s sarcoma mainly affects the pelvic region, femur, humerus and rib bones of the teens mostly. Primary bone cancer is not that much common but the most common type of the bone cancer is secondary bone cancer which is caused because of the cancer in some other parts of the body.

Cancer is always a sensitive topic and there are not many of us who haven’t known of a relative or friend who has struggled with this disease.  For those who have a poor prognosis every extra day they have to spend with their family is precious and this has prompted me to tell you about a report just published in the Journal of International Medical Research.

As of February 2010, researchers are claiming that terminal cancer patients could live an extra two years or more, if they take a daily dose of five vitamins.   In a pilot study, 75% of cancer patients survived up to five months more than the expected one year and some patients were still living up to three years after starting the treatment.  The study was carried out by British and Danish researchers and co-author, Dr. Bob Lister, believes that the survival gain is similar to having a new drug.  Furthermore, there are no side-effects for cancer patients taking the vitamin cocktail.

Dr. Lister, of the Institute of Brain Chemistry and Human Nutrition has said that the results are significant and called for financial backing to pay for a proper clinical trial.  He commented that cancer patients often ask what they can do themselves to improve their quality of life and that taking these vitamins is very safe.
