Glioblastoma Multiforme Market Trends



  • The increasing incidence of glioblastoma multiforme globally to boost the market growth.


Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and lethal type of primary brain cancer. According to statistics provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a national public health body of the US in 2022, about 90% of adult GBM patients pass away within 24 months of their diagnosis. According to American Association of Neurological Surgeons reported that in June 2021, glioblastoma represented 47.7% of all cases of malignant brain and CNS tumors. Glioblastoma affects 3.21 out of every 100,000 people. Moreover, the median age at diagnosis is 64, and men are more likely than women to obtain a diagnosis.


The figures above indicate that the need for therapies is expected to increase dramatically, which is anticipated to drive the global market for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) treatments. Complex factors, such as aging populations, overdiagnosis, ionizing radiation, air pollution, and other factors, are the key reason for development of Glioblastoma multiforme. Furthermore, it is anticipated that the market for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) treatments will be driven by the increase in cases of brain and other nervous system cancers across the world. However, it has been discovered that people with GBM have a rather low survival rate.


Glioblastoma Multiforme Market Segment Insights


Glioblastoma Multiforme Treatment Type Insights


The Market segments of Glioblastoma Multiforme, based on treatment type, includes surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, tumor treating field (TTF) therapy, and others. The radiation therapy segment is held the majority share in 2022 in the Glioblastoma Multiforme Market revenue. This is due to the technological breakthroughs in radiotherapy and improved survival rates. Additionally, radiation therapy is another highly demanded option, especially for patients who are not suitable candidates for surgery. In case of recurrence, it is also effective and strongly advised for brain tumors. Thus, the increasing acceptability of this surgical technique for treating brain tumors is fueling the global segment's expansion.


December 2020: Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (US) has released an update on the Phase 3 CheckMate -548 trial, which compares Opdivo (nivolumab) with the standard of care (temozolomide and radiation therapy) in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) with O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter methylation after surgical resection of the tumor to placebo plus the standard of care.
