Research and Markets: PharmaPoint: Prostate Cancer - Australia Drug Forecast and Market Analysis to 2022

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/k98jl8/pharmapoint) has announced the addition of GlobalData's new report "PharmaPoint: Prostate Cancer - Australia Drug Forecast and Market Analysis to 2022" to their offering.

GlobalData has released its new Country report, PharmaPoint: Prostate Cancer - Australia Drug Forecast and Market Analysis to 2022. The recent approvals of second-line metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) therapies like J&J's Zytiga (abiraterone acetate) and Medivation/Astellas' Xtandi (enzalutamide) will drive strong market growth over the next decade. These safe and orally administered treatments will provide safety and convenience benefits over the current standard of care, chemotherapy with docetaxel, while prolongig the overall survival of patients with mCRPC. The December 12, 2012 FDA approval of Zytiga for the added indication of chemotherapy-naïve mCRPC marks the onset of a new treatment paradigm for the disease, in which chemotherapy is relegated to second-line therapy and beyond. For patients with earlier-stage prostate cancer, androgen deprivation therapy with LHRH agonists and first-generation antiandrogens remains the standard of care for suppressing testosterone levels and temporarily controlling the disease.

In Australia, prostate cancer is diagnosed following a patient's presentation with symptoms, elevated PSA levels as a result of routine screening, or an abnormal DRE. The diagnosis is confirmed after multiple core needle biopsies or TRUS, and bone metastases are detected by CT or bone scan. Routine PSA screening is more commonly used in Australia compared with the 5EU, but less frequently than in the US (Baade et al., 2009).
