In macroscopic hematuria, another method, computed tomography (CT) urography, is employed to obtain pictures of the upper tract. The exact cause of urinary tract cancer is unknown; however, long-term indwelling bladder catheters, smoking, chronic inflammation of the urinary system, and exposure to carcinogenic substances are all established risk factors.

Urinary Tract Cancer Treatment Market Dynamics

Urinary tract cancer treatment market is growing due to an increase in the prevalence of urinary tract cancer, the elderly population, and the number of bladder cancer research institutes.

Increasing prevalance of bladder cancer will drive the market growth   

Increased prevalence of bladder cancer, increased funding from private and government organizations for the construction of research centers, increased elderly population, and increased R&D activities in the healthcare sector are all driving the worldwide urinary tract cancer market forward. Bladder cancer is the world's tenth most frequent cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, approximately 83,730 people in the United States will be diagnosed with bladder cancer in 2021. Furthermore, the bladder cancer research institutes, founded at the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom, were sponsored with $1.18 million thanks to University investment and private donations. Furthermore, the rise in the geriatric population, which is more susceptible to bladder cancer, will propel the market forward throughout the projection period. Because the immune cells that combat cancer tissue in the bladder diminish with age, the elderly are more susceptible to urinary tract cancer. According to the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), over 90% of persons with bladder cancer will be over 55 in January 2021.

Furthermore, according to the American Cancer Society, bladder cancer can be caused by a combination of smoking and job exposure. For example, Merck, a leading global biopharmaceutical company, announced in August 2021 that Keytruda (pembrolizumab), used to treat Urothelial Carcinoma, has received FDA clearance in the United States. As a result, the market is expected to grow due to an increase in the number of approvals for the treatment of urinary tract cancer and an increase in sedentary lifestyles such as smoking and increased exposure to the chemical sector. Furthermore, there is a surge in the number of cancer research facilities and highly specialized urologists for cancer therapy.

Side effects caused by medications is likely to hamper the market growth 

However, the market is stifled by the risks connected with the usage of medications used to treat urinary tract cancer.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global urinary tract cancer marketAlmost all hospitals and cancer centers have reduced their outpatient capacity and conducted a triage to only select the patients most need a cystoscopy. This, in turn, caused cancellation and postponements of many non-essential surgical procedures across the world.
