Market Overview:
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a type of lung cancer that starts in the small, air-filled sacs (alveoli) in the lungs. It is a rare form of lung cancer, accounting for about 10% to 15% of all cases. The cells in SCLC are small and look different under a microscope than the cells in other types of lung cancers. The global small cell lung cancer treatment market was valued at US$ 1,362.8 Mn in 2017 and is projected to reach US$ 3,711.5 Mn by 2030 at a CAGR of 11.4%.

Product Definition:
Small cell lung cancer is a form of lung cancer that starts in the small cells in the lungs. It is much less common than other types of lung cancer, accounting for about 10-15% of all cases. Treatment for small cell lung cancer usually includes chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
Oat Cancer:
Oat cancer is a rare tumor of the oat cell and it accounts for less than 1% of all cancers. It has very poor prognosis with a survival period of only 3-6 months due to its slow-growing nature. Oat cell carcinoma was first described in 1843 by the German physician, Friedrich Hoffmann, who found small round blue cells in an oat cob during pathology studies.
Combiner Small Cell Cancer:
The combiner small cell cancer is a new term used for the treatment of small cell lung cancer. It is an innovative therapy developed by Merck that involves using a patient’s own immune cells to fight against the cancerous cells. The therapy has shown positive results in clinical trials and is expected to improve survival rates among patients with advanced SCLC (Small Cell Lung Cancer).
Application Insights:
Surgery was the largest revenue-generating segment in 2017. The surgery is majorly used for the treatment of primary tumors and regional metastases. According to a study published by NCBI, in 2018, around 60% to 80% of patients with SCLC are diagnosed with cancer at initial diagnosis and have some form of residual tumor after chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
The combination therapy is expected to be the fastest-growing segment during forecast years due to increasing R&D initiatives by key industry players such as Gilead Sciences, Inc., Merck KGaA, Roche Ltd., Astrazeneca PLC and others for developing novel small cell lung cancer drugs. For instance, in April 2019, Gilead Sciences received FDA approval for its combination therapy ZINPLAVA (bezlotoxumab) & Iressa (gefitinib) tablets for treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017. This can be attributed to the presence of key players, high adoption of novel technologies, and availability of effective treatment methods for small cell lung cancer patients. In addition, increasing government funding for R&D activities pertaining to oncology drugs is also expected to drive growth during the forecast period. For instance, according to data published by National Cancer Institute (NCI), in 2016 approximately USD X million was awarded as a research grant by NCI’s Cancer Center Support Grant Program (CCSP). The program supports research projects that aim at developing new strategies and approaches against challenging diseases such as small cell lung cancer.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness lucrative growth over the forecast period owing to rising disposable income levels and improving healthcare infrastructure in emerging countries such as China & India.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing incidence of small cell lung cancer (SCLC)
- Growing awareness about SCLC and its treatment options
- Rising demand for better and more effective treatments for SCLC
- Availability of novel small cell lung cancer therapies
- Increasing investment in research and development for new small cell lung cancer therapies
