Biggest innovation in cancer drugs in next 5 years: Report

There is a need for good treatment options to control the increasing cases of cancer and deaths due to it. In such a situation, innovations in immuno-oncology medicines can prove to be very helpful.

A recent report has suggested that the biggest innovation in the next five years in the field of cancer treatment could be in immuno-oncology (IO) drugs. These drugs are based on the immunotherapy of cancer and they are being given the potential to completely change the way cancer is treated.

New technologies such as checkpoint inhibitors, CAR-T cell therapy and cancer vaccines will play an important role in immunotherapy, the report said. The report is based on a survey of 128 pharma industry professionals and is being seen as a new direction for cancer treatment.

The Future of Immuno-Oncology

"Advances in immunotherapy could completely change the way cancer is treated," said Urte Zackimawiciute, senior director of the Healthcare Division at Global Data. He believes that more effective and personalized treatments will be available in the coming time in this area, which can revolutionize the treatment of cancer. According to Dr. Jaquimavisciute, the need for effective drugs to treat cancer remains constant, and immuno-oncology may offer a solution. These drugs are not only becoming a part of the stringent treatment of cancer, but are also making the process of cancer treatment more effective.

Anti-obesity drugs are also important

In addition, anti-obesity drugs have also been considered as a major innovation area for the pharma industry. Drugs such as GLP-1 receptor agonists help control obesity and are emerging as a solution to the global health crisis. The survey also pointed out that the market for these drugs is growing rapidly, and this can be used to solve other serious problems related to obesity.

Increasing cases of cancer are worrisome

At present, cancer has become a serious global health crisis. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2022, there were about 20 million new cancer cases worldwide, with around 9.7 million deaths. According to the report, lung, breast and colorectal cancers are the most common causes of death. The findings are based on data from 85 countries and 36 cancer types.

New options needed for cancer treatment

The report also mentions that 1 in 5 people will develop cancer at some point in their life, and 1 in 9 men and 1 in 12 women die from the disease. Such figures indicate that the need for the latest and effective medicines in the treatment of cancer has increased even more.
