治療オプションの進歩が食道がん治療の市場規模の拡大を大きく後押ししており、予測期間中も市場を牽引するとみられます。化学療法は、特に進行性・転移性の患者に対する治療の基幹であることに変わりはありません。しかし、化学療法と、より新しい免疫療法や標的薬剤を用いた先行化学療法後に行う必要のある治療法の併用は、治療アプローチに革命をもたらしています。
例えば、2024年3月、BeiGene, Ltd.は、PD-(L)1阻害剤を含まない全身化学療法歴のある切除不能または転移性食道扁平上皮がん(ESCC)の成人患者に対する単剤療法として、TEVIMBRA(tislelizumab-jsgr)が米国食品医薬品局(FDA)から承認されたことを発表しました。
免疫療法は、進行食道がん患者、特に化学療法や放射線療法のような従来の治療に反応しない患者にとって、画期的な治療法として登場しました。例えば、ペムブロリズマブ(キイトルーダ)やニボルマブ(オプジーボ)などの薬剤は、進行食道がん患者、特にPD-L1が高発現している患者の生存率を有意に改善しています。
化学療法、免疫療法、標的治療などの食道がん治療の進歩は患者の治療に革命をもたらしましたが、これらの薬剤に伴う副作用が食道がん治療市場の成長を大きく妨げています。これらの副作用はしばしば治療の中断、患者のコンプライアンス低下、ヘルスケアコストの増加につながり、これらすべてが市場全体の可能性を妨げています。
化学療法は、特に進行期の食道がん治療の主軸であることに変わりはありません。しかし、シスプラチン、カルボプラチン、フルオロウラシルなどの化学療法薬には重篤な副作用が伴い、患者のQOLや治療プロトコルの遵守に大きな影響を与えます。重篤な副作用のために化学療法を中断する患者は30~40%に達し、治療効果が低下することが研究で示されています。
ペムブロリズマブ(キイトルーダ)やニボルマブ(オプジーボ)などの免疫療法薬は、進行食道がん患者の生存率を有意に改善しました。しかし、これらの治療薬には治療を複雑にするさまざまな免疫関連の副作用も伴う。免疫療法薬は、体の免疫系が自分自身の組織を攻撃する自己免疫疾患を誘発する可能性があり、大腸炎、肺炎、肝炎などを引き起こします。

The global esophageal cancer treatment market reached US$ 1.31 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 2.66 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 8.2% during the forecast period 2025-2033.
Esophageal cancer is a neoplastic disease characterized by the uncontrolled proliferation of abnormal cells in the esophageal lining. It typically originates in the mucosal or submucosal layers and can invade deeper structures, including the muscularis propria and surrounding lymph nodes. It is an aggressive cancer with a high mortality rate, often diagnosed at an advanced stage due to a lack of early symptoms.
The demand for esophageal cancer treatment is driven by increasing incidence rates, advancements in treatment options and improving healthcare access. Esophageal cancer is one of the fastest-growing cancers worldwide, which increases the demand for advanced cancer therapeutics. For instance, according to the National Institute of Health (NIH), esophageal cancer is the ninth most common cancer and the sixth leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. The global incidence of esophageal cancer is estimated at 500,000 new cases per year. The market is expected to witness robust growth in the coming years, although challenges like late-stage diagnosis, high treatment costs, and limited awareness continue to affect its growth.
Market Dynamics: Drivers & Restraints
Rising advancements in treatment options
The rising advancements in treatment options are significantly driving the growth of the esophageal cancer Treatment market and are expected to drive the market over the forecast period. Chemotherapy remains the backbone of treatment, especially for patients with advanced or metastatic disease. However, the combination of chemotherapy and the therapies that need to be given after prior chemotherapy with newer immunotherapy or targeted agents has revolutionized the approach to treatment.
For instance, in March 2024, BeiGene, Ltd. released that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved TEVIMBRA (tislelizumab-jsgr) as monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) after prior systemic chemotherapy that did not include a PD-(L)1 inhibitor.
Immunotherapy has emerged as a game-changer for patients with advanced esophageal cancer, especially those who are non-responsive to conventional treatments like chemotherapy and radiation. For instance, drugs such as Pembrolizumab (Keytruda) and Nivolumab (Opdivo) have significantly improved survival rates in patients with advanced esophageal cancer, especially those with high PD-L1 expression.
Side effects associated with certain medications
While advancements in esophageal cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy and targeted therapies, have revolutionized patient care, the side effects associated with these medications are significantly hampering the growth of the esophageal cancer treatment market. These adverse effects often lead to treatment discontinuation, lower patient compliance and increased healthcare costs, all of which hinder the overall market potential.
Chemotherapy remains a mainstay of treatment for esophageal cancer, especially in advanced stages. However, chemotherapy drugs such as cisplatin, carboplatin and fluorouracil come with severe side effects, which significantly impact patient quality of life and adherence to treatment protocols. Studies indicate that up to 30-40% of patients may discontinue chemotherapy due to severe side effects, reducing the effectiveness of treatment.
Immunotherapy drugs, such as Pembrolizumab (Keytruda) and Nivolumab (Opdivo), have significantly improved survival rates in patients with advanced esophageal cancer. However, they also come with a range of immune-related side effects that can complicate treatment. Immunotherapy drugs can trigger autoimmune conditions, where the body's immune system attacks its own tissues, leading to colitis, pneumonitis and hepatitis.
The global esophageal cancer treatment market is segmented based on cancer type, treatment type, end-user and region.
The combination therapy segment is expected to dominate the esophageal cancer treatment market share
Combination therapy, especially the combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy, has led to improved survival rates and better outcomes for patients, particularly in advanced stages of esophageal cancer. By combining different treatment types, it is possible to tackle cancer through multiple mechanisms, enhancing its effectiveness and reducing the likelihood of drug resistance.
For instance, in May 2022, Bristol Myers Squibb cleared the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for both Opdivo (nivolumab) (injection for intravenous use) in combination with fluoropyrimidine- and platinum-containing chemotherapy and Opdivo plus Yervoy (ipilimumab) as a first-line treatment for adult patients with unresectable advanced or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) regardless of PD-L1 status.
A clinical trial of the combination of Nivolumab (Opdivo), a PD-1 inhibitor, and chemotherapy demonstrated a significantly longer overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) compared to chemotherapy alone. The success of combination therapies like Nivolumab + chemotherapy has led to a shift toward combination treatment protocols in clinical practice, making combination therapy the dominant treatment option in advanced esophageal cancer cases.
