Women with mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes have 50% chance of developing breast or ovarian cancer. Ovarian carcinoma, is the most common ovarian cancer that accounts for 95% of cases, globally.

Ovarian cancer drugs market supported by growing aging population in the U.S. and U.K.

Rising number of ovarian cancer cases recorded over the recent past, is creating a highly conducive environment for growth of the ovarian cancer drugs market. According to American Cancer Society, in 2016, around 22,280 new cases of ovarian cancer were diagnosed, leading to 14,240 deaths in the U.S. According to the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) Program of the National Cancer Institute data, an increase in all new cancer cases is recorded, with ovarian cancer accounting for 1.3% of the incidence rate, and 2.4% of all related deaths, in 2016. The number of new ovarian cancer cases account for 11.9 per 100,000 women, and the total deaths account for 7.5 per 100,000 women, annually.

According to World Cancer Research Fund International data on the basis of highest rate of ovarian cancer by country: Fiji, age standardized rate per 100,000 is 14.9, followed by Latvia and Bulgaria with age standardized rate per 100,000 being 14.2 and 14.0, respectively. The U.K. stands tenth, with age standardized rate per 100,000 pegged at 11.7. Around 58% of ovarian cancer cases are diagnosed in emerging economies, with the highest incidence rate recorded in Africa and Asia Pacific. In the U.K., around 46% of women diagnosed with ovarian cancer, survive for around five years or more following the onset of the disease. According to Australian Government, Cancer Australia, as of 2017, 1,580 new ovarian cancer cases are estimated to be diagnosed, accounting for 2.5% of ovarian cancer cases among all new cancer cases in the country. This is estimated to result in 1,047 deaths in 2017. Thus, the ovarian cancer drugs industry is expected to gain significant traction in developed regions, in the near future.
