United States Solid Tumor Testing Market 2016-2020 - High Demand for Personalized Medicines

Dublin, Feb. 29, 2016 -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/bvwzh9/solid_tumor) has announced the addition of the "Solid Tumor Testing Market in the US 2016-2020" report to their offering.

The solid tumor testing market in the US to grow at a CAGR of 11.1% during the period 2016-2020.

The report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the solid tumor testing market in the US for 2016-2020. To calculate the market size, the report considers the revenue generated from the sales of solid tumor testing products, such as assays or kits and bench-top instruments. The report covers the market landscape and its growth prospects over the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.

Solid tumor testing or screening is done for the early detection of cancer, enabling effective treatment measures to avoid the spread of cancerous cells throughout the body.

The testing procedure involves testing of samples such as urine, blood, and other bodily substances. Further, cancer testing also involves conducting genetic tests to analyze certain gene mutations that are linked to certain cancer types. Biopsy, colonoscopy, Papanicolaou (Pap) test, and fecal occult blood tests are some of the tests that are performed for cancer screening.

Ready-to-use reagents offer many advantages such as avoiding calculation, dilution, infection, and pipetting errors; and also save time. The focus on disease treatment and gaining accurate results through sample analysis will boost the consumption of ready-to-use reagents during the forecast period.

According to the report, Proteins and genes control various functions of the body. Any defect in a particular protein or gene structure will result in the occurrence of specific disorders. The development of personalized drugs depends on the identification and study of protein and gene expressions. These personalized medicines are regulated and labeled along with a specific diagnostic test, referred to as companion diagnostic. This tailored approach facilitates better therapeutic outcomes, owing to specific screening and selection of the patient population. This factor boosts the demand for personalized medicines, which, in turn, would drive the adoption of solid tumor testing.

Further, the report states that the regulatory and reimbursement scenario in the country has been impeding market growth ever since the government introduced medical device excise tax and cuts in bundled payments, which has restricted the use of insurance by customers.
