IN THE NEWSHead and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a type of cancer that develops from the tissues in the salivary glands, mouth, larynx, or the skin of the face. According to the World Health Organization’s classification of head and neck tumors (2005), there are different types of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), namely, conventional, verrucous, basaloid, papillary, spindle cell, acantholytic, adenosquamous and cuniculatum. All of these SCCs can occur either in the nasopharynx, hypopharynx, larynx, trachea, nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, oral cavity and oropharynx. HNSCC is caused primarily due to the consumption of tobacco or alcohol. These types of cancers are usually curable if diagnosed at an early stage. The HNSCC cancer can be treated by including a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and targeted therapy.
The global head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) treatment and drugs market is thriving on the back of growing incidences of head and neck cancers globally, and the need amongst the individuals to treat them. According to the statistics by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 46,157 new cases of oral cavity and pharynx cancer were reported in the United States in the year 2017. Additionally, 10,126 people died due to this cancer disease. The global head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) treatment and drugs market is anticipated to record a notable CAGR during the forecast period, i.e., 2021-2029. The market is segmented by distribution channel into online and offline. The offline segment is further classified into drug stores, hospital pharmacies and retail. Among these segments, the hospital pharmacies segment is anticipated to hold the largest market share during the forecast period on account of the increasing number of cancer patients visiting the hospital for treatments, and therefore their need for HNSCC drugs at the hospital premises. On the other hand, several of these drugs are restricted for sale in online platforms or even to retail pharmacy outlets. As a result, these restricted drugs are available only in the hospital pharmacies, which is anticipated to drive the growth of the segment during the forecast period. CLICK TO DOWNLOAD SAMPLE REPORT

Impact of COVID-19 on Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) Treatment and Drugs
Since many of the drugs that are approved by the FDA are under clinical trials, the pharmaceutical companies need to continuously focus on research and development of these drugs and also find cancer patients to continue with their study processes. Owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, government and private entities have shifted their focus towards the development of COVID-19 vaccine, which has impacted the study of organizations who had their focus in the development of the drugs for HNSCC. Additionally, for the fear of the pandemic, hospitals observed a lower number of cancer patients which impacted largely the study of the clinical trials for the cancer vaccine.
