Oncolytic virus therapies are a form of immunotherapy that utilizes viruses to infect and destroy cancer cells. They use various natural and genetically modified viruses, such as herpes simplex, Newcastle disease, vaccinia, adenovirus, reovirus, and picornavirus. Oncolytic virus therapies activate danger signals for generating an immune response and are widely used for treating solid tumors, melanoma, and unresectable lesions. They also help eradicate tumors using viruses that only infect and destroy targeted tumor cells. As compared to chemotherapy, oncolytic virus therapies are non-toxic, provide superior efficacy, and prolong the survival of cancer patients. As a result, they find extensive applications in hospitals, clinics, and cancer research institutes.
The rising incidences of cancer across the globe are creating a positive outlook for the market. Oncolytic virus therapies are widely used to treat various cancers, such as glioblastoma, breast, lung, and prostate cancers, due to their powerful anti-tumor properties and ability to target tumors accurately without harming surrounding tissues. In line with this, the widespread utilization of the therapy to treat various types of melanomas, such as hematological malignancies, lymphoma, leukemia, and myeloma, is favoring the market growth. Furthermore, rising concerns among patients regarding the negative health impact of various cancer treatments, such as surgical intervention, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy, are providing a considerable boost to the market growth. Additionally, the rising number of clinical studies in oncolytic viruses, such as herpesvirus, adenovirus, and vaccinia virus, that is in the final stages and have demonstrated excellent experimental results are facilitating the market growth. Other factors, including rising demand for advanced treatments and novel therapies and increasing initiatives by several governments to spread awareness regarding different causes of cancer and promote early diagnosis, are anticipated to drive the market growth.
