Acute Myeloid Leukemia is on the Rise as Biotechs Race to Develop Groundbreaking TherapiesPALM BEACH, Fla., June 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FN Media Group News Commentary - Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow. It is characterized by the rapid growth of abnormal myeloid cells, which are immature blood cells that normally develop into red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. In AML, these abnormal cells accumulate in the bone marrow and interfere with the production of normal blood cells. According to Global Market Insights the Acute Myeloid Leukemia Market was valued at USD 2.1 Billion in 2023 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 10.7% between 2024 and 2032. High market growth can be attributed to factors such as advancement in research and technology, surging government initiatives and policies, early diagnosis coupled with efforts to implement screening programs. Also, increasing prevalence of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a significant factor driving the growth of the market. The report said: “For instance, according to the American Cancer Society, in 2023, there were about 20,380 new cases of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in the U.S. alone. Hence, as the population ages, the incidence of AML tends to rise, contributing to a larger patient pool seeking diagnosis and treatment, thereby fostering the market growth. Surging government initiatives and polices play a pivotal role in driving the acute myeloid leukemia industry. Also, increased government funding for medical research, including acute myeloid leukemia research, drive advancements in understanding the molecular basis of AML, leading to the development of innovative therapies and treatment modalities.” Active biotech and pharma companies in the markets this week include Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
