LONDON, June 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- INTRODUCTION
Cancer is an extremely complex disease and medical science is still struggling to figure out the reasons and factors that influence the disease origin, propagation, spread (metastasis) and relapse. In 2017, a total of 1.7 million new cancer cases are estimated to be diagnosed in the US alone; during the same time period, close to 0.6 million patients are estimated to die due to cancer. The high cancer mortality rate is primarily due to delay in detection of the disease.

Early diagnosis increases the survival rate that is unlikely to happen if the disease is identified at an advanced stage. Invasive cancer diagnostic methods such as tissue biopsies have been the gold standard to determine the clinico-pathological characteristics of cancer tissues for many years. The procedure is not only cost-intensive but is also a traumatic experience for the patients. Additionally, endoscopies such as colonoscopy, gastroscopy and laparoscopy are also employed for cancer diagnosis. However, biopsies and endoscopies only offer insights of the disease state at a single point of time. They are unable to measure the disease progression or monitor the effects of the administered therapy over the treatment period. Therefore, the current cancer diagnostics market faces a pressing need for more accurate non-invasive methods of diagnosis to ensure better patient care. There are several advanced approaches that are not only non-invasive / minimally invasive but also outweigh the limitations posed by invasive diagnostic procedures. Liquid biopsy has emerged as a promising non-invasive cancer diagnostic tool that analyzes biofluids (blood, urine or plasma) to detect rare cells and biomarkers such as circulating tumor cells (CTCs), circulating tumor DNA / RNA (ctNAs) or exosomes. Moreover, liquid biopsies are capable of not only analyzing the tumor state at the time of sample extraction but can also monitor and track changes in tumor genetics over the course of treatment. In addition to liquid biopsy, the market is gradually witnessing the emergence of several other non-invasive diagnostic technologies that exploit skin lesions, bronchial fluid and exhaled breath as samples to trace signatures of cancer. These tests use gene expression profiles, biomarker analysis, volatile organic compound detection and other advanced techniques of molecular genetics to identify a particular cancer indication. These non-invasive diagnostic techniques, backed by patient success stories, awareness and the availability of successful clinical validation data for several cancer indications, hold a significant promise and are anticipated to replace the existing invasive diagnostic tools in the coming few years. In fact, social media platforms, such as Twitter, have witnessed an increasing volume of tweets over the years. Between 2010 and 2016, we were able to identify over 7,000 tweets; this clearly indicates an upsurge in the popularity of these non-invasive tests in the given time period. With liquid biopsy on the forefront, the overall non-invasive cancer diagnostics market is likely to receive a significant boost in the near future. SCOPE OF THE REPORT
The 'Non-Invasive Cancer Diagnostics Market (2nd Edition), 2017-2030' report provides an extensive study on liquid biopsy kits / assays that are either commercialized or are under development for diagnosis and / or monitoring of different types of cancer.

1. We identified over 110 liquid biopsy tests; of these, 60% of the tests are currently available for patients while the remaining are either available for research use only (RUO) or are under development. Further, of the total tests, 36% detect the presence of ctDNA in the sample, nearly 41% detect CTCs and 4% validate the presence of exosomes. Close to 19% of the liquid biopsy tests identify the presence of multiple / other markers. 2. It is worth highlighting that there are seven liquid biopsy tests that are being explored for use as companion diagnostics. Many partnerships have been inked to co-develop liquid biopsy companion diagnostic products; notable examples include collaborations between BMS and GRAIL (2017), Merck and Sysmex Inostics (2016), Biocept and Baylor College of Medicine (2015), QIAGEN and Tokai Pharmaceuticals (2015), ANGLE and MD Anderson Cancer Center (2015), and AstraZeneca and QIAGEN (2015). 3. Considering the future potential of these diagnostic kits and systems, several investors have made substantial capital commitment to drive future development. We identified approximately 196 funding instances amounting to capital investments (equity / debt / grants) of over USD 3.8 billion between 2011 and 2017; these investments were made either directly or indirectly to support the development of liquid biopsy products. In 2016 alone, driven by increased venture capital activity, amount worth USD 770 million was invested in different companies. 4. It is worth highlighting that with the rising activity in the field of cancer diagnostics, pharmaceutical players have been keen to explore the acquisition opportunities in this domain. In the Roots Analysis proprietary valuation analysis of over 40 start-ups / small companies, we identified nine companies that are likely to achieve valuation of over USD 500 million. 5. The market, primarily driven by the sales generated by liquid biopsy tests, is anticipated to register a growth rate of 19% between 2017 and 2030. The current market is dominated by the tests that offer patient monitoring (63% share). Specifically, catering to the high unmet need for timely treatment, the share of early diagnosis is likely to increase from 20% in 2017 to over 40% by 2030. 6. Among specific indications, we believe that prostate cancer is likely to capture the largest share of the market (~15%). Subsequently, owing to the large target patient population, breast cancer is likely to capture a share of 14% by 2030. In addition, lung cancer is also likely to capture a significant market share of 12% by 2030. It is worth highlighting that, despite the low prevalence of lung cancer, the demand of liquid biopsies is significantly high as tissue biopsy is extremely difficult in case of lungs. 7. With regard to the geographical activity, in 2017, the US is likely to capture the maximum share (43%) followed by EU5 (34%) and Rest of the World (RoW, 23%). The overall trend is unlikely to change significantly in 2030; however, regions in RoW are likely to occupy a larger share in 2030 (29%). It is important to highlight that, within RoW, Asian countries such as China, India, Japan, have several developers and distributors of liquid biopsy tests, demonstrating an elevating activity within these regions.
