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

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/6rwbsz/pharmapoint) has announced the addition of the "PharmaPoint: Prostate Cancer - Italy Drug Forecast and Market Analysis to 2022" report to their offering.

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 prolonging 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 stanard of care for suppressing testosterone levels and temporarily controlling the disease.

In Italy, prostate cancer is diagnosed in response to symptoms, an abnormal DRE, or an elevated PSA level found during routine screening (EAU, 2012). Routine PSA screening is used less frequently in Italy than in most major markets, similar to the UK. A diagnosis is confirmed using TRUS-guided core needle biopsies, and metastases are detected using a bone scan, CT scan, or Positron Emission Tomography (PET) choline scan. Prescribers and KOLs do not expect to see major changes in how prostate cancer is diagnosed over the forecast period, and do not believe the USPSTF recommendation against routine PSA screening will have an impact in Italy.
