Research and Markets: Cancer Diagnostics (Tumor Biomarker Tests, Imaging, Endoscopy and Biopsy) Market 2014 - 2020DUBLIN --(Business Wire)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/tmmmns/cancer) has announced the addition of the "Cancer Diagnostics Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2014 - 2020" report to their offering. Imaging, endoscopy, biopsy and tumor biomarker tests altogether comprise the global cancer diagnostics market. Imaging for cancer detection remains the largest segment in the cancer diagnostics market owing to its utilization in detection of almost every cancer type. MRI, PET, CT, mammography and ultrasound are the major imaging modalities, of which, CT scan and ultrasound imaging account for more than two-third of the total cancer imaging market. A tumor biomarker test is a segment in the cancer diagnostics market with highest research activity. Cancer biomarkers are increasingly being applied in cancer diagnostics; a highly sensitive and specific biomarker essentially helps in better diagnosis, monitoring and prognosis of cancer. Protein-based biomarkers such as alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), cancer embryonic antigen (CEA), prostate-specific antigen (PSA) are among the prominently used tumor biomarkers. The market for cancer diagnostics is majorly driven by demand from the patients affected with cancers of lung, breast, and colorectal cancer. Lung cancer is the most common cancer of all types and approximately 1.8 billion new cases of lung cancer were diagnosed in 2012. The increasing use of tobacco products in developing nations, particularly in BRICS countries, is contributing to the growing prevalence of lung cancer in the world. In 2013, the global lung cancer diagnostics market accounted for one-fourth of the global cancer diagnostics market revenue. In addition, the rising prevalence of breast cancer among women across the world, particularly in the Asia Pacific, is expected to drive the market for breast cancer diagnostics at the highest CAGR of 8.2% during the forecast period 2014 to 2020. The global cancer diagnostics market is led by players such as Abbott Laboratories, Ambry Genetics, AstraZeneca, bioMerieux, Eli Lilly and Co., Roche, GlaxoSmithKline plc, Novartis, and Pfizer.
