North America Uterine Cancer Diagnostics & Treatment Market Size & Share Analysis - Growth Trends & Forecasts (2024 - 2029)

North America Uterine Cancer Diagnostics & Treatment Market Analysis

The North America Uterine Cancer Diagnostics & Treatment Market size is estimated at USD 9.57 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 11.77 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 4.22% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the healthcare systems globally and significantly impacted the North American uterine cancer diagnostics and treatment market. For instance, according to the article published in November 2021 by Cancer Connect, doctors from Dana Farber Cancer Institute determined that during the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a 46.0% decrease in the diagnoses of the six most common cancer types - breast, colorectal, lung, pancreatic, gastric, and esophageal cancers in North America. Moreover, in the COVID-19 era, nearly 88.0% of the cancer care centers faced challenges in delivering usual cancer care for many reasons, including preventive measures, lack of personal protective equipment, and staff shortage, as per the NCBI research article published in 2021. However, with the resumption of all non-essential surgeries and medical requirements, the market has started to gain traction. It is expected to continue the upward trend over the forecast period.

The major drivers for the market are the rising awareness about uterine cancer and the available therapies, increasing cases of uterine cancer, innovation in drug development, and subsequent technological advancements. For instance, according to the American Cancer Society estimates for cancer of the uterus in the United States for 2023, around 66,200 new cases of cancer of the body of the uterus (uterine body or corpus) will be diagnosed, and around 13,030 women will die from cancers of the uterine body in 2023. The same source also stated that endometrial cancer affects mainly post-menopausal women. The average age of women diagnosed with endometrial cancer is 60. It's uncommon in women under the age of 45. Thus, increasing cases of uterine cancer are expected to propel the demand for uterine cancer diagnostics and treatment, thereby propelling market growth.

The increasing product approval for treating uterine cancer diagnostics is also expected to propel the market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in April 2021, the U.S. FDA granted accelerated approval to Jemperli (dostarlimab) for treating patients with recurrent or advanced endometrial cancer that has progressed on or following prior treatment with platinum-containing chemotherapy and whose cancers have a specific genetic feature known as dMMR, as determined by an FDA-approved test. Similarly, Merck announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved KEYTRUDA, Merck’s anti-PD-1 therapy, as a single agent for the treatment of patients with advanced endometrial carcinoma that is microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or mismatch repair deficient (dMMR), as determined by an FDA-approved test, who have disease progression following prior systemic therapy in any setting and are not candidates for curative surgery or radiation. Thus, increasing product approvals is anticipated to positively impact the market growth over the forecast period.

However, the low success rate in clinical trials for cancer drugs, the high cost of research and development, and the high cost associated with the treatment will likely hinder the market growth over the forecast period.
