Endometrial Cancer Market Analysis

Endometrial Cancer Market Overview

Endometrial Cancer Market Size was valued at USD 15.43 Billion in 2023. The Endometrial Cancer industry is projected to grow from USD 16.89 Billion in 2024 to USD 24.08 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.21% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032). Endometrial cancer, commonly known as uterine cancer, is the abnormal development of endometrium cells in the uterus. Women with abnormal vaginal bleeding are diagnosed with endometrial cancer at an early stage. Endometrial cancer is the sixth most frequent cancer in women worldwide, according to statistics. Because of the increased frequency of endometrial cancer, the endometrial cancer market is predicted to develop significantly.

Other key factors contributing to the market's growth include rising female obesity, increased menopausal hormone therapy, changes in sedentary lifestyle, socioeconomic factors, rising consumption of unhealthy diets, rising incidence of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), and rising prevalence of breast or ovarian tumors. Endometrial cancer is another factor that leads to the development of endometrial cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, diabetes women are four times more likely than non-diabetic women to get endometrial cancer. Endometrial cancer is caused by such causes in women.

In 2023, Sysmex in Japan received a partial modification approval for LYNOAMP CK19 manufacturing and marketing authorization, which broadened its gene amplification capabilities to cover endometrial and cervical cancers. Initially designed for lymph node metastasis tests in various cancers, this modification enhances diagnostic applications for additional cancer types.

In 2023, Merck’s anti-PD-1 therapy KEYTRUDA got the FDA’s nod as a single agent for advanced endometrial carcinoma with microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or mismatch repair deficiency (dMMR). This approval is used in patients who have progressed after previous systemic therapy and are not suitable for curative surgery or radiation-increasing treatment options within this specific patient population subset.

In October 2022, Sysmex Corporation—based out of Japan—made public that the Japanese development and marketing authority had partially agreed to alter the gene amplifier module component of its test kit called LYNOAMP CK19. The original promotion is based on the fact that it was advertised as an examination part of gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, and breast cancer, which investigates lymph node metastasis. The modification extends the range of amplified cancer genes to include endometrial and cervical cancers.

In February of 2022, Karyopharm Therapeutics Inc., a U.S.-based company, stated that initial positive results appeared from the Phase 3 evaluation of Selinexor regarding Endometrial Cancer. This investigation aimed at studying selinexor on safety and efficacy as a first-line maintenance therapy among patients suffering from advanced or recurrent endometrial cancers.

Karyopharm Therapeutics Inc., a United States-based firm, announced positive preliminary findings from the Phase III trial examining Selinexor against endometrial cancer early in the year 2022.

Around March 2021, Eisai Inc. started a program called Spot Her, intended to fight against endometrial cancer’s silence and call for the participation of women so that they can be proactive in promoting awareness about their well-being and those of other ladies, too. In collaboration with Black Health Matters, Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered (FORCE), and SHARE Cancer Support (SHARES), this exercise was done by Eisai Inc.
