Hormone Sensitive Prostate Cancer Market Segments, Opportunity, Growth and Forecast by End-use Industry 2016-2026
Prostate cancer is a general term used for diseased condition in which abnormal cells grow and invade in uncontrolled manner in the prostate. Prostate cancer inhibits production of male sex hormones (i.e. androgens) and ultimately blocks the action of androgen. The androgen is also responsible for the growth of prostate cancer. Androgen binds with the receptors and stimulates the expression of specific genes that would be responsible for prostate cancer. However, androgen suppression hormonal therapies are commonly used for the treatment of this cancer. These therapies acts by reducing the production of androgen by the testicles or by blocking the action of androgen in the body. There is an opportunity for the growth of hormone sensitive prostate cancer owing to the rapidly aging population which is the major cause of prostate cancer.
