Cancer Pain Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Drug-Class, By Treatment, By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2019 To 2025

The global cancer pain market is expected to post a healthy market growth rate during the forecast period. The steady growth of this market can be attributed to the launch of new products that specifically treat pain-related to cancer. Pain in cancer may come from compressing or infiltrating nearby body parts, from treatments and diagnostic procedures or from the skin, nerve, and the other changes caused by a hormone imbalance or immune response.

Most chronic pain is caused by the illness and most acute pain is caused by the treatment or diagnostic procedures. The radiotherapy and chemotherapy may produce painful conditions that persist long after treatment has ended. The presence of pain depends mainly on the location of cancer and the stage of the disease. At any given time with malignant cancer smacks pain, and two-thirds of those with advanced cancer experience pain of such intensity that it adversely affects their sleep, mood, social relation, and activities of daily living.

Cancer Pain Market by Drug-Class: Opioids, Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, others.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs block the production of prostaglandins by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase enzyme and therefore, reduce the pain at the site of injury. The NSAIDs are drug class that groups together drugs that provide analgesic and antipyretic effects, and in higher doses, anti-inflammatory effects.

Aspirin-like drugs: These medications are used for bone pain, and pain caused by inflammation. Some people experience stomach problems such as indigestion and bleeding with this type of medication. Aspirin itself is generally avoided; because it is too hard on the stomach if taken regularly.

Paracetamol is important in cancer pain control. It is usually well-tolerated; doesn’t affect the stomach and won’t thin the blood. It is helpful to reduce fever and relieve bone pain and is often used along with opioids.

Opioids act on ovoid receptors to produce morphine-like effects. Opioids are used most often to relieve pain. Opioids are semi-synthetic and synthetic drugs such as hydrocodone, oxycodone, and fentanyl antagonist drugs such as naloxone and endogenous peptides such as the endorphins.
