Description
Cancer Monoclonal Antibodies Market size was valued at USD 47.2 billion and expected to grow at CAGR of 11.8% during 2022-2028. A monoclonal antibody drug in cancer treatments engages natural immune system functions to fight cancer. Cancer monoclonal antibodies may be used in combination with other cancer treatments. An antibody attaches itself to a specific molecule (antigen) on the surface of cancer cell when antibody binds to antigen, it acts as a flag to attract disease-fighting molecules or as a trigger that promotes the destruction of cancer cells by another immune system process. Due to its specificity, monoclonal antibodies have least adverse effects than other cancer treating drugs. Currently cancer monoclonal antibodies market is witnessing a significant growth. The targeted and combination therapy drugs are leading in the market. Several market player collaborating to develop antibody drugs to treat various type of cancers. In January 2017, AbCellera Biologics, Inc. collaborated with Pfizer Inc. for new therapeutic antibody discovery. AbCellera will use its monoclonal antibody (mAb) screening techniques in the discovery of function modulating antibodies against undisclosed membrane protein targets. Academic institutions and organisations like National Institute of Health (USA), National Cancer Institute (USA) and many others are collaborating and participating in cancer research and awareness activities.
