Anaplastic Astrocytoma Treatment Market Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2021





Anaplastic astrocytoma is a type of malignant brain tumour that is extremely rare. Astrocytomas are tumours that develop from star-shaped astrocytes brain cells. Based on the reproduction rate of the cells and their ability to spread over nearby tissues, the disease has been classified into four groups: Grade I, Grade II, Grade III, and Grade IV. Grade I and Grade II astrocytomas are non-cancerous and are known as low-grade astrocytomas. Grade III and IV astrocytomas, on the other hand, are malignant and are referred to as high-grade astrocytomas. Lower-grade astrocytomas can progress to high-grade astrocytomas over time. Grade III astrocytomas, on the other hand, are also known as anaplastic astrocytomas.

The growing number of drug candidates in the pipeline, which may receive regulatorily approvals during the forecast period are expected to drive the global anaplastic astrocytoma treatment market growth. Currently, the only drug approved by the FDA for Anaplastic Astrocytoma is temozolomide (Temodar). Temodar is an alkylating agent that has been approved for both newly diagnosed patients and refractory anaplastic astrocytoma patients who have seen disease progression despite taking nitrosourea and procarbazine-containing drugs.

Currently, there are three main treatment options for anaplastic astrocytoma: surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. In the majority of cases, surgery is considered the first line of treatment. Only if the entire tumour cannot be safely excised or removed are patients advised to seek alternative treatment. This treatment pattern, in which drugs are used as a second or third line of treatment, has hampered the sales of pharmaceutical drugs such as Temodar, limiting the growth of the global anaplastic astrocytoma treatment market.





Because of increased awareness about rare diseases such as anaplastic astrocytoma, as well as the presence of leading clinical-stage companies in the region, North America is expected to account for a significant share of the global anaplastic astrocytoma treatment market. The approval of generics for temozolomide will be critical in increasing drug adoption, particularly in emerging economies such as the Asia Pacific and Latin America. The FDA approved American Pharmaceuticals Limited's generic version of Temodar in 2016. The introduction of generic drugs is expected to help the anaplastic astrocytoma treatment market growth.
