Technavio’s analysts categorize the global head and neck cancer treatment market into four major segments by cancer type. They are:
- Oral cavity cancer
- Laryngeal cancer
- Pharyngeal cancer
- Others
The top three segments based on cancer type for the global head and neck cancer treatment market are discussed below:
Oral cavity cancer
Oral cavity cancer appears as a sore in the mouth that does not go away. This cancer is commonly seen in the tongue, lips, floor of the mouth, cheeks, and hard palate. This form of cancer can be life-threatening, in case of delay in diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
According to Sapna Jha, a lead oncology research analyst from Technavio, “Oral cavity cancer is the most common type of the head and neck cancer. The segment held over 47% share of the total head and neck cancer in 2016. Also, it is expected to be the fastest growing segment during the forecast period majorly due to high consumption of tobacco and alcohol and betel nut chewing across the globe.”
Laryngeal Cancer
Laryngeal cancer is a type of head and neck cancer that develops in the tissues of the larynx. The Tumor, Node, and Metastasis (TNM) staging is a common way of describing the stage of cancer. In laryngeal cancer, the tumor stage defines how far has the cancerous cells grown in the larynx and the surrounding tissues. Node stage defines the spread of cancer in the lymph nodes.
“South Asian countries such as India and Sri Lanka are expected to witness higher demand of the laryngeal drugs. On the other side, China is expected to see a rising prevalence rate of laryngeal cancer due to a high level of HPV infection,” says Sapna.
Pharyngeal Cancer
Pharyngeal cancer occurs in the pharynx. Similar to other head and neck cancers, this risk of this cancer also rises with the alcohol and tobacco consumption. Chronic viral infections are also associated with the pharynx cancer development. For instance, EBV has been strongly associated with nasopharyngeal cancer.
Occupational exposures to cancer-causing agents such as formaldehyde, which is usually found in the textile and plastic cancer, have also been found to be a risk for pharyngeal cancer. Pharyngeal cancer is further divided into three types, based on the location of the pharynx, in which the tumor has formed.
