Challenges

  • Associated side-effects.
  • High cost of stem cell therapy.

For instance, according to World Health Organization (WHO), cancer was the leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020. Therefore, there is a larger patient population in need of effective treatments. Cancer stem cells therapy refers to targeted treatments and therapeutic strategies specifically designed to identify, target, and eliminate cancer stem cells therapy (CSCs) within tumors. Cancer stem cells therapy are a subset of cells within a tumor that exhibit stem cell-like properties, including the ability to self-renew and differentiate into various cell types found in the tumor. These cells are believed to play a significant role in tumor progression, metastasis, and resistance to conventional cancer therapies.
 

COVID-19 Impact

The market experienced a favourable effect due to the COVID-19 pandemic. During this global health crisis, there was a notable increase in focus on healthcare and biomedical research, with funding agencies and governments allocating additional resources for research, including cancer stem cells therapy. Moreover, the pandemic prompted researchers to adapt and innovate, leading to the emergence of new research strategies and collaborations.
 

Cancer Stem Cells Therapy Market
