BriaCell Therapeutics (OTCQB: BCTXF) (TSX.V: BCT), a biotechnology company focused on immuno-oncology, is currently developing immunotherapy solutions demonstrated to be highly effective and well tolerated by patients. The market share for immunotherapy treatments for breast cancer as well as other malignancies is forecasted to surge in the coming years. An article discussing the company reads, “Several studies indicate that the incidence of breast cancer is expected to increase in the next decade (http://nnw.fm/o92YV). U.S. breast cancer diagnoses are anticipated to grow from 283,000 in 2011 to 441,000 in 2030, an increase of over 50 percent. The proportion of cases diagnosed among women in the 50–to–69 age group is expected to decrease from 55 percent to 44 percent in 2030. Diagnoses among those aged 70 to 84, however, will increase from 24 percent to 35 percent. . . . Immunotherapy could provide a viable solution to the problem. The cancer immunotherapy market is anticipated to grow to $145 billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 14 percent (http://nnw.fm/gXWO3). Immunotherapy currently accounts for 50 percent of the oncology medications market, but it is forecast that roughly 60 percent of previously treated cancer patients will adopt immunotherapy by 2026.”
