Sentinel Node Biopsy Market Trends



  • Rise in cancer incidence is driving the market growth


A primary market driver for sentinel node biopsy is the rise in cancer incidence. The burden of cancer on healthcare systems, economies, and people as a whole makes it a serious worldwide health concern. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), the burden of cancer will continue to grow worldwide in the upcoming years. In order to increase patient survival rates and optimize treatment outcomes, this growing burden highlights the need for efficient cancer management options, such as SNB. With its incidence rising gradually over the world, cancer continues to be a significant  health concern. The ageing of the population, lifestyle modifications, environmental exposures, and genetic predisposition are some of the factors that contribute to the increase in cancer incidences. Effective diagnostic and staging techniques, like SNB, are increasingly important as cancer prevalence rises in order to inform the selection of the most suitable treatments. Changing lifestyles, such as sedentary behaviors, unhealthy eating habits, and greater exposure to environmental toxins, also have a role in the rising incidence of cancer. There are several known risk factors for different types of cancer, including smoking, poor diets, chemical exposure, pollution, and UV radiation.


The sentinel node biopsy (SNB) industry is expanding as a result of technological improvements. These developments help to increase the precision, effectiveness, and safety of SNB operations, as well as patient outcomes and the range of cancer types for which SNB can be used. SNB operations have undergone a revolution thanks to advanced imaging technology. The sentinel lymph node can be precisely identified by the nuclear medicine imaging technique known as lymphoscintigraphy, which makes use of radioactive tracers to visualize lymphatic drainage routes.


Thus, driving the sentinel node biopsy market revenue.


Sentinel Node Biopsy Market Segment Insights


Sentinel Node Biopsy Product Insights


The  sentinel node biopsy market segmentation, based on product includes Breast Localization Wire, Tissue Marker, Gamma Probe and Drainage Catheters. The gamma probe segment dominated the market. Handheld instruments known as intraoperative gamma probes are used in surgery to quickly and accurately quantify the gamma radiation that radioactive tracers emit. These probes lower the possibility of unneeded lymph node dissection by assisting surgeons in precisely locating and removing the sentinel lymph node. They immediately give comments and direction throughout the process, enhancing SNB's accuracy.


Sentinel Node Biopsy Indication Insights


The  sentinel node biopsy market segmentation, based on indication, includes Breast Cancer, Melanoma, Colon Cancer and Esophageal Cancer. The breast cancer category generated the most income. The market for sentinel node biopsy is largely dominated by breast cancer. Sentinel node biopsy is a critical technique in enhancing patient outcomes since early detection and precise staging are essential for breast cancer treatment. Furthermore, the melanoma category is anticipated to grow at the fastest rate over the forecast period. The care of melanoma, a kind of skin cancer, depends heavily on sentinel node biopsy. The process aids in determining the extent of the malignancy and in selecting the best course of treatment.


Sentinel Node Biopsy End-User Insights


The  sentinel node biopsy market segmentation, based on end-user includes Hospitals & Clinics and Diagnostic Centers. The hospitals & clinics segment dominated the market. Sentinel node biopsy methods are frequently used in hospitals and clinics. They have well-established surgical departments with the ability to do SNB procedures, and they offer complete cancer treatment services. Hospitals frequently have cutting-edge imaging equipment like intraoperative gamma probes and lymphoscintigraphy, which helps with precisely identifying and localizing sentinel lymph nodes.
