Cancer Biological Therapy Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product (Monoclonal Antibodies, Vaccines, Cancer Growth Blockers), By Distribution Channel (Hospital, Retail & Mail Order Pharmacies), And Segment Forecasts, 2019 To 2025

The global cancer biological therapy market is expected to witness significant growth owing to the large patient pool. There are also other factors that drive the growth of the market such as the growing prevalence of several cancers, growing impact of biosimilar, continuous patent expiry of cancer drugs growing demand for biological and targeted drug therapy.

Biological therapy consists of using a living organism substance derived either from living organisms or laboratory-produced variations of the substances to treat a particular disease. Biological therapies generally comprise interleukins, interferons, monoclonal antibodies, vaccines, and so on. Biological therapy utilizes the body’s immune system either directly or indirectly in order to fight cancer. Some biological therapies for cancer use vaccines or bacteria to stimulate the body’s immune system to act against cancer cells whereas some therapies involve antibodies.

On the other hand, there are also factors that hamper the growth of the market such as the high expenditure on drug development, the adverse effects of cancer drug therapy, the risk of failure in treatment, and stringent government guidelines
