The tumor microenvironment (TME) refers to the microenvironment surrounding tumor cells. It includes various cell types such as fibroblasts, adipocytes, immune and inflammatory cells, and the extracellular matrix (ECM). Increased understanding of the complex interplay between tumor cells and the TME has revealed novel therapeutic opportunities. Targeted cancer therapeutics that modulate cell signaling, immune response, and vessel formation in the TME show promising results. For instance, anti-angiogenic drugs inhibit the formation of new blood vessels in tumors to restrict their growth. Checkpoint inhibitors help activate the immune system to identify and attack cancer cells.
The global tumor microenvironment Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 1.47 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 8.5% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Dynamics:
The tumor microenvironment is expected to be flourished by the rising adoption of targeted cancer therapeutics as mentioned in the heading. Targeted cancer therapeutics have revolutionized cancer treatment by interfering with specific molecular changes that allow cancer to grow and progress. For example, immune checkpoint inhibitors help activate the immune system’s T-cells to recognize and destroy cancer cells. The success of immunotherapy drugs such as Keytruda, Opdivo, and Yervoy have boosted research into new targeted therapies. Furthermore, investments from public and private organizations in TME research is also fueling market growth. For instance, the National Cancer Institute invested over $150 million in 2019 to support TME research through its Tumor Microenvironment Network program. This funding helps academic institutes and biotech companies advance novel TME-modulating therapies.
