Single Agent Chemotherapy Market Research Report: Forecast up to 2020 Single agent chemotherapy refers to the treatment of cancer with a potent single chemotherapy drug instead of multiple chemotherapy agents. Though, the combination chemotherapy is standard treatment method in most of cancer cases, increasing burden of high risk side effects and adverse effects of combination therapy has promoted use of single agent in management of cancer. Single agent chemotherapy offers some advantages as compared to combination chemotherapy treatment such as in reducing negative effects on quality of life by minimizing toxicity and unwanted side effects. Sequential single-agent treatment is also gaining popularity because of the potential merits associated with single-agent chemotherapy. Single agent chemotherapy also allows for greater dose intensity of drug in some severe conditions. High incidence of life threatening adverse effects in many cases of combination therapy and high cost of treatment associated with multiple agents are some of the major drivers of single agent chemotherapy market. Rising number of cancer cases globally will further enhance the growth of this market since chemotherapy is considered to be one of the most effective treatments of the cancer. According to the Cancer Research U.K., 14.1 million cancer cases were recorded globally in 2012 alone in the U.K. In addition, factors such as less toxicity and impairment of quality of life have widened the acceptance of single agent chemotherapy amongst patients. Furthermore, huge investment in research and development by pharmaceutical companies, extensive academic and industry collaborations and innovation in targeted drug delivery technologies have shown immense possibilities in future growth of single agent chemotherapy market. However, increasing resistance against single chemotherapy agent over the course of treatment and delayed tumor response rate as compared to combination therapy are some of the key factors restraining the growth of single agent chemotherapy. The global single agent chemotherapy market has been segmented on the basis of major drug classes, type of cancer and chemotherapy drugs.
