A recent report highlights that the global bile duct cancer treatment market is expected to witness a robust growth between 2024 and 2031. However, the market faces significant challenges, primarily driven by cost-related factors.
A notable observation is that Asians are more prone to contracting bile duct cancers compared to non-Hispanic blacks and whites. Currently, the primary line of therapy for bile duct cancers involves chemotherapy, and it is expected to maintain the largest market share in the foreseeable future as alternative treatment methods take time to gain acceptance.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has initiated accelerated approvals to expedite the introduction of these therapies into the bile duct cancer treatment market, aiming to provide patients with faster access to treatments.
These price disparities are likely to hinder the Bile Duct Cancer Treatment Market in the United States. While medical tourism has thrived in Asian economies such as India, Singapore, and Malaysia, the COVID-19 pandemic has imposed travel restrictions, impacting this avenue for affordable treatment.
