Global Adrenocortical Carcinoma Treatment Market Overview
Adrenocortical Carcinoma Treatment Market Size was valued at USD 3.65 Billion in 2023. The Global Adrenocortical Carcinoma Treatment industry is projected to grow from USD 3.82 Billion in 2024 to USD 8.17 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.72% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032).
Adrenocortical carcinoma is cancer that arises from the adrenal cortex, which is the outer layer of the adrenal gland. It is rare and aggressive in form, and the management requires a multidisciplinary approach. Numerous factors such as an increase in prevalence rates of rare cancers and the increased focus of companies on the treatment of adrenocortical carcinomas are expected to drive the growth of the market. Thus, there is an increase in the number of drugs in clinical trials for specific chemotherapeutics.
According to the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, the incidence of adrenocortical carcinoma ranges between 40-50 years, whereas women are 55–60% more likely to get affected with a ratio of 1.5:1. In April 2015, ArQule, Inc. announced ARQ 087 is currently in a Phase 2 trial in patients with Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) with FGFR2 fusions and a Phase 1b trial in adrenocortical tumors and tumors with FGFR translocations, amplification, and mutations. ARQ 087 is a potent FGFR (Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor) inhibitor.
However, the discrimination of benign from malignant adrenocortical carcinoma requires the evaluation of multiple parameters. Additionally, the pathohistological diagnosis remains challenging. According to a journal published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, the rate of incorrect initial histopathological diagnosis in Germany was 13% in the year 2016. Therefore, the lack of skilled oncology experts to derive special diagnostic algorithms remains a prominent restraint for the growth of the market. Moreover, the high risk of local recurrence and metastatic progression also hampers the growth of this market.
