The TAM of the pre-biopsy/post-negative biopsy testing segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period 2022-2030 in the South U.S. prostate cancer testing market. Several established diagnostics manufacturers in this region who are focusing on expanding their portfolios in prostate cancer testing and are collaborating with service providers and pharmaceutical giants to co-market prostate cancer testing solutions with its complementary precision medicine solutions. Moreover, the U.S. government is currently undertaking several initiatives to develop tests for cancer and provide funds to new start-ups in the cancer diagnostics field.

Recent Developments in the U.S. Prostate Cancer Testing Market

• In September 2022, Veracyte, Inc. announced the publishing of data in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute to demonstrate the company’s decipher prostate genomic classifier may help identify African American men with early, localized prostate cancer who are most likely to harbor more aggressive disease.
• In August 2019, BioReference Laboratories, Inc. announced the selection by The IPA Association of America (TIPAAA) as its provider of laboratory services and to assist with data analytics for its members’ patients. The agreement is designed to enhance patient care and offers collaborative health management tools to TIPAAA members, which includes more than 667 medical organizations in 39 states. The members can have convenient access to BioReference’s comprehensive laboratory testing menu, including routine and specialty tests, as well as the 4Kscore for detecting aggressive prostate cancer.
• In June 2021, Thermo Fisher Scientific announced submissions open for the Oncomine Clinical Research Grant program to support clinical research projects in oncology. The grant aims to provide funding for high-quality molecular profiling studies focusing on the impact of immune-based treatments for cancer patients.

Additionally, comprehensive competitive strategies such as partnerships, agreements, and collaborations will aid the reader in understanding the untapped revenue pockets in the market.

Impact

One of the main reasons for the expansion of the prostate cancer testing market in the upcoming years is the rise in prostate cancer cases. Prostate cancer is the second most frequent disease diagnosed in men, and its frequency is rising across the globe. Prostate cancer is thought to be diagnosed in one million additional cases worldwide each year. Due to an aging population, growing urbanization, and accompanying lifestyle changes, the overall incidence of prostate cancer has increased over the past few decades.

Impact of COVID-19

During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, a number of disease models issued warnings about an excess of cancer fatalities brought on by missed cancer screenings as a result of the general population's quarantine and a lack of healthcare resources. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on early diagnosis in the specific case of prostate cancer, the second most common cancer in men, by reducing participation in screening programs and on time from diagnostic testing to surgery/radiotherapy, which may translate into a worse prostate-cancer-specific death rate in the coming years. Additionally, in other areas, including Florida, state governments disallowed non-essential healthcare services.

Significant reductions in cancer screenings were seen in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. According to a research paper published in January 2022 by the University of Florida, screenings for prostate cancer were reduced by 74%. Due to these screening figures, there may have been thousands more cancer deaths in the U.S. than were registered.

For instance, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing rates and the identification of several urological malignancies, including prostate cancer, have been found to be declining in significantly afflicted populations. Several Australian urologists worry that men with possibly curable prostate cancer may have missed their chance for a cure due to low screening test uptake during the lockdowns of 2020. According to a research paper published by BMC Urology in June 2022, a total of 4,048,099 PSA tests and 118,328 prostate biopsies were performed in Australia over the six years of data analysis. In the years 2019 and 2020, 68,429 prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were performed. Between 2015 and 2019, there were, on average, 19,573 prostate biopsies and 678,082 PSA testing performed per year.
