Sentinel Node Biopsy Market Trends



  • Increasing incidences of cancer globally to boost the market growth


The Sentinel Node Biopsy (SNB) has been utilized frequently in several cancers, namely breast, melanoma, and the oral cavity among others. The SNB assists the physician in determining if breast cancer or melanoma has spread beyond the original tumor. Sentinel node biopsy is a minimally invasive procedure that helps determine whether cancer has spread to the lymph nodes, providing crucial information for treatment planning. With more cancer cases being diagnosed, the demand for sentinel node biopsy as a reliable staging tool is expected to increase. The increasing prevalence of breast cancer is fueling the demand for sentinel node biopsies.


In February 2023, the World Health Organization reported that approximately 2.3 million cases of breast cancer occur each year, mostly among adults. Furthermore, breast cancer is the first or second leading cause of death in approximately 95% of countries worldwide. Moreover, as per the International Agency for Research on Cancer, there were 325, 000 new diagnosed cases of melanoma globally in 2020. Also, the highest rate has been found in Australia and New Zealand, followed by Western Europe, Northern America, and Northern Europe. Additionally, there were 377,713 new cases diagnosed with oral cancer worldwide in 2020, and physicians are majorly using SNB for oral cancer for the detection of lymph nodes.


Therefore, increasing incidences of above-mentioned cancer and high demand for SNB for the same are propelling the sentinel node biopsy market's growth.
