This will help hospitals to offer better care to the patients and minimize the hospitalization costs, thus making the treatment economical. Early detection will play a key role in the prevention of unnecessary interventions, treatment costs, and reducing hospital stays as well. Most importantly, it will also help in improving the quality of life and the number of years gained by the patient.

Lack of Specificity Hampers Market Growth

The lack of specificity and sensitivity exhibited by cancer screening tests is the key restraint for the global market. Cancer diagnostics have to be designed to detect the minutest aspect of cancer in the body to prevent unnecessary biopsies. Furthermore, the poor reimbursement policies are also hampering the cancer diagnostics market as they limit patient's access to targeted therapies. The lack of transparency and inefficiency in reimbursement schemes are also likely to have a negative impact on the overall market in the coming years. Despite the hurdles in the cancer diagnostics market, the possibility of developing non-invasive and painless screening methods are likely to open up new growth opportunities for the global market.
