Benign Breast Disease and Early Breast Cancer - Market Insights, Epidemiology, and Market Forecast - 2034

Key Highlights:

• The Benign Breast Disease and Early Breast Cancer market size in the 7MM is aniticipated to grow with a significant CAGR during the study period (2020-2034)
• In the United States, biopsy-confirmed benign breast disease diagnoses are four times more common than invasive breast cancers, affecting ~1 million women annually. There is lucrative potential to seize the marketplace of early-stage cancerous and benign breast disease because it is a broader indication and represents a greater population than an advanced disease.
• In 2023, the market size of benign breast disease and early breast cancer was highest in the US among the 7MM. Amongst EU4 and the UK, Germany accounted for the highest market share in 2023, and Spain captured the least market share.
• The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically impacted breast cancer screening, early diagnosis, and all cancer treatments: for example, screening programs were halted, some systemic therapies were withheld, and reconstructive and risk-reducing surgeries were not performed.
• Unlike breast cancer, data and guidelines for investigating and managing benign breast disease are limited. To date, there are no guidelines available for imaging surveillance after mastectomy.
• Among all the benign breast disease subtypes, fibroadenoma is the most common clinically diagnosed subtype accounting for approximately 70% of all subtypes in the US.
• Even with trends toward increasing mastectomy rates, the current rates of lumpectomy (breast-conserving surgery (~60% nationwide) remain above 50% at American Cancer Society and American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer (ACS/CoC) centers in the United States. Data also suggests that the European centers have established higher benchmarks for breast-conserving surgeries, expecting that at least 70% of women with early breast cancer undergo breast-conserving surgery. The National Accreditation Center for Breast Cancer Standards in the US concurs with the European Society of Breast Cancer Specialists (EUSOMA-multi-institutional European database) recommendations, as it establishes that breast-conserving surgery should be offered or performed in early-stage breast cancer (stages 0, I, II) to at least 50% of cases.
• Novel technologies, patients' awareness of breast cancer early detection methods as a standard of healthcare, and compliance to screening help detect breast cancer at very early stages.
• Minimally invasive techniques like cryoablation and laser ablation have gained attention in the past few years as an alternative to surgical excision, potentially reducing complications, improving tencosmesis, and reducing hospital stays.

Benign Breast Disease and Early Breast Cancer Treatment Market

Benign Breast Disease and Early Breast Cancer Overview

Benign breast disease is a spectrum of lesions that are frequently discovered on clinical examination, routine imaging, by the patient on self-examination, or due to mastalgia, and after appropriate imaging and indicated sampling confirm a benign diagnosis, treatment is directed to symptomatic relief and the patient education without additional surgical management. Benign lesions are more common at younger ages, with benign breast disease beginning to rise in the second decade and peaking between the ages of 40 and 50.

Early breast cancer means cancer has not spread beyond the breast or the lymph nodes in the armpit on the same side of the body. So, cancer has not spread to any other part of the body. The number staging system divides breast cancers into different stages. Early breast cancer includes Stage 0, Stage I, and Stage II.

Benign Breast Disease and Early Breast Cancer Diagnosis

The tests and procedures used to diagnose a benign breast condition are often the same as those used to diagnose early breast cancer. The goals of diagnosis are to ensure that the growth or other change detected is benign and determine whether the condition is associated with any increase in cancer risk. Clinical breast examination, and diagnostic imaging, including X-ray, ultrasound, MRI, and mammography, are some diagnostic tests used for diagnosis. Furthermore, a biopsy is also considered to diagnose benign breast disease and early breast cancer.

Benign Breast Disease and Early Breast Cancer Treatment

Most types of benign breast disease do not require treatment. The healthcare provider may recommend treatment if one has atypical hyperplasia or a different kind of benign breast disease that increases the future risk of breast cancer. Similarly, treating early breast cancer aims to eliminate cancer and keep it from returning, for which a treatment plan is made based on medical and personal choices. Treatment includes surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy.

Benign Breast Disease and Early Breast Cancer Epidemiology

As the market is derived using a patient-based model, the Benign Breast Disease and Early Breast Cancer epidemiology chapter in the report provides historical as well as forecasted epidemiology segmented by total incident cases of breast cancer, total incident cases of benign breast disease and early breast cancer, benign breast disease cases by clinical type, early breast cancer cases by age, and total benign breast disease and early breast cancer patients seeking treatment in the 7MM covering the United States, EU4 countries (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain), the United Kingdom, and Japan from 2020 to 2034.

• The total incident cases of benign breast disease and early breast cancer in the 7MM comprised approximately 2.9 million and 544,200 cases respectively, in 2023 and are projected to increase during the forecasted period.
• The United States contributed to the largest incident population of benign breast disease and early breast cancer, acquiring ~49% of the 7MM, followed by EU4 and the UK, and Japan in 2023.
• The total number of incident cases of benign breast disease and early breast cancer in the United States was around 1.4 million and 243,500 cases, respectively, in 2023.
• Among the EU4 countries, Germany accounted for the largest number of benign breast disease cases, followed by France, whereas Spain accounted for the lowest number of cases in 2023.
• Most benign tumors of the breast do not require treatment, because such tumors or lesions are not life threatening and it takes years to progress into cancer. After diagnosing a benign breast lump, a physician may simply suggest a "wait-and-watch" approach to monitor the mass for changes. Surgical removal may be recommended if a noncancerous mass grows large enough to cause discomfort or press on a vital structure, such as a nerve or blood vessel. Data in the secondary domain suggests that nearly 30%-50% of BBD cases receive any kind of treatment at some time in their life.

Benign Breast Disease and Early Breast Cancer Interventions

Benign Breast Disease and Early Breast Cancer Marketed Drugs

ECHOPULSE: Theraclion

ECHOPULSE, developed by Theraclion, is the first robotic and non-invasive solution for echotherapy treatment (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound HIFU) of breast fibroadenoma. The therapeutic ultrasound is combined with a standard ultrasound beam to control the accuracy of the treatment. It can be operated by a single person in a nonsurgical environment and leaves no scars, and maintains the thyroid function and the integrity of the breast tissue.

ProSense: IceCure Medical

ProSense by IceCure Medical is a liquid-nitrogen-based cryoablation system that allows for minimally invasive breast cancer treatment for the treatment of T1 invasive breast cancer and/or patients unsuitable for a surgical alternative for breast cancer. IceCure's unique ultra-slim probe freezes targeted tissue using advanced cryotherapy technology within minutes.

Guided by CT or ultrasound, the probe is inserted into the tumor, and liquid nitrogen generates sub-zero temperatures to turn the tumor into an ice ball. A freeze-thaw-freeze cycle destroys the targeted tissue immediately, leaving adjacent healthy tissue undamaged. The necrotic debris is eventually absorbed by the body.

We perform Qualitative and market Intelligence analysis using various approaches, such as SWOT analysis. In the SWOT analysis, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in terms of disease diagnosis, patient awareness, patient burden, competitive landscape, cost-effectiveness, and geographical accessibility of therapies are provided. These pointers are based on the Analyst's discretion and assessment of the patient burden, cost analysis, and existing and evolving treatment landscape.

Benign Breast Disease and Early Breast Cancer Market Access and Reimbursement

Breast cancer has the highest treatment cost of any cancer, accounting for 14% of all cancer treatment costs. Medicare pays for certain preventive healthcare services and screening tests to help find cancer. Part B also covers diagnostic mammograms more frequently than once a year when medically necessary. Patients pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount for diagnostic mammograms; the Part B deductible applies. However, in Europe, inappropriate reimbursement and funding rules and regulations act as disincentives to best breast cancer care or, at worst, hinder best care. Reimbursement policies have rarely evolved with advances in breast cancer care such as outpatient (ambulatory) care rather than inpatient admission, use of oral or SC anticancer drugs rather than day-hospital IV administration, oncoplastic surgery techniques to minimize mastectomy rates, breast reconstructive surgery, and risk-reducing surgery for BRCA mutation carriers, or use of hypofractionated breast radiation therapy. Although each European country, region, and center must understand how their reimbursement policies may hinder best care and find solutions, the problems are similar throughout Europe, and some solutions can be broadly applied.

The report further provides detailed insights on the country-wise accessibility and reimbursement scenarios, cost-effectiveness scenario of approved therapies, programs making accessibility easier and out-of-pocket costs more affordable, insights on patients insured under federal or state government prescription drug programs, etc.
