GLOBAL KRAS MARKET: GROWTH AND TRENDS
Cancer is considered to be the second leading cause of mortality, after cardiovascular diseases, accounting for every sixth reported death in the world. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) states that the number of new cancer cases is expected to grow to 27.5 million across the globe, by 2040. A major factor contributing to the high mortality rate associated with this condition is the tendency for late diagnosis, which in turn delays treatment and significantly reduces the patient's chances of survival.

Given that conventional therapies have been unable to exhibit significant efficacy in the treatment of RAS mutated cancers, novel drugs, specifically targeting the RAS gene, have emerged as a promising alternative. In fact, drug developers in this field are increasingly focusing on creating therapies that target specific oncogenic mutations primarily responsible for the onset and progression of the disease. Notably, RAS which was once considered to be an undruggable target, has been linked to 30% of human cancer. Over the years, numerous drug candidates have been investigated to specifically target RAS-mutated genes. Additionally, driven by encouraging clinical trial results, substantial financial assistance, and growing demand for targeted therapeutic modalities, the RAS targeting therapies market is anticipated to witness steady growth over the next decade
