Prostate cancer is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers among men globally, with an increasing number of cases in developed nations such as the United States and Europe. Recent innovations in clinical trials have primarily focused on immunotherapies, radioligand therapies, and next-generation androgen receptor inhibitors to tackle both early-stage and metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa).
Immunotherapy: Although checkpoint inhibitors like pembrolizumab have shown promise in some cancer types, their success in prostate cancer has been limited. However, ongoing trials are exploring combination strategies, pairing immunotherapy with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) or radiotherapy to improve patient outcomes.
Radioligand Therapy: New therapies targeting the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), such as Lutetium-177 PSMA, are showing considerable potential for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). These therapies deliver radiation directly to the tumor, offering a novel way to target cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue.
Next-Generation Hormonal Agents: Drugs like enzalutamide, abiraterone, and apalutamide are significantly improving outcomes for patients with advanced or metastatic prostate cancer, often used in conjunction with ADT to delay progression to mCRPC and extend overall survival.

Prostate cancer is particularly common in men over 65 years, with the majority of cases diagnosed in regions like North America, Europe, and Australia. Globally, in 2024, approximately 1.47 million new cases of prostate cancer are expected, with around 299,000 cases anticipated in the United States alone. African American men bear a higher burden of both incidence and mortality compared to other racial group.
Prostate cancer tends to grow slowly, especially in its early stages, where the 5-year survival rate exceeds 99% for localized disease. However, for metastatic cases, survival drops significantly, with a 5-year survival rate of about 30%
This progression often leads to bone metastases, which are seen in approximately 70-90% of CRPC patients
Bone metastases significantly impact quality of life, leading to complications like pathological fractures and spinal cord compression.
As clinical trials continue to refine and develop personalized treatment approaches, the future of prostate cancer care looks promising. Research is increasingly focusing on biomarker-driven therapies, such as PARP inhibitors for patients with BRCA mutations, and optimizing combination therapies that pair hormonal agents with radioligand therapies. However, the high cost and limited accessibility of these advanced treatments, particularly in low-income regions, pose challenges for global healthcare systems
The global prostate cancer therapeutics market is projected to grow substantially, driven by increased research into life-extending therapies, improvements in diagnostic technologies, and ongoing innovations in immunotherapy and targeted therapies.

An accurate research report requires proper strategizing as well as implementation. There are multiple factors involved in the completion of good and accurate research report and selecting the best methodology to compete the research is the toughest part. Since the research reports we provide play a crucial role in any company’s decision-making process, therefore we at SNS Insider always believe that we should choose the best method which gives us results closer to reality. This allows us to reach at a stage wherein we can provide our clients best and accurate investment to output ratio.
Each report that we prepare takes a timeframe of 350-400 business hours for production. Starting from the selection of titles through a couple of in-depth brain storming session to the final QC process before uploading our titles on our website we dedicate around 350 working hours. The titles are selected based on their current market cap and the foreseen CAGR and growth.
The 5 steps process:
Step 1: Secondary Research:
Secondary Research or Desk Research is as the name suggests is a research process wherein, we collect data through the readily available information. In this process we use various paid and unpaid databases which our team has access to and gather data through the same. This includes examining of listed companies’ annual reports, Journals, SEC filling etc. Apart from this our team has access to various associations across the globe across different industries. Lastly, we have exchange relationships with various university as well as individual libraries.
Step 2: Primary Research
When we talk about primary research, it is a type of study in which the researchers collect relevant data samples directly, rather than relying on previously collected data. This type of research is focused on gaining content specific facts that can be sued to solve specific problems. Since the collected data is fresh and first hand therefore it makes the study more accurate and genuine.
We at SNS Insider have divided Primary Research into 2 parts.
Part 1 wherein we interview the KOLs of major players as well as the upcoming ones across various geographic regions. This allows us to have their view over the market scenario and acts as an important tool to come closer to the accurate market numbers. As many as 45 paid and unpaid primary interviews are taken from both the demand and supply side of the industry to make sure we land at an accurate judgement and analysis of the market.
This step involves the triangulation of data wherein our team analyses the interview transcripts, online survey responses and observation of on filed participants. The below mentioned chart should give a better understanding of the part 1 of the primary interview.
Part 2: In this part of primary research the data collected via secondary research and the part 1 of the primary research is validated with the interviews from individual consultants and subject matter experts.
Consultants are those set of people who have at least 12 years of experience and expertise within the industry whereas Subject Matter Experts are those with at least 15 years of experience behind their back within the same space. The data with the help of two main processes i.e., FGDs (Focused Group Discussions) and IDs (Individual Discussions). This gives us a 3rd party nonbiased primary view of the market scenario making it a more dependable one while collation of the data pointers.
Step 3: Data Bank Validation
Once all the information is collected via primary and secondary sources, we run that information for data validation. At our intelligence centre our research heads track a lot of information related to the market which includes the quarterly reports, the daily stock prices, and other relevant information. Our data bank server gets updated every fortnight and that is how the information which we collected using our primary and secondary information is revalidated in real time.
Step 4: QA/QC Process
After all the data collection and validation our team does a final level of quality check and quality assurance to get rid of any unwanted or undesired mistakes. This might include but not limited to getting rid of the any typos, duplication of numbers or missing of any important information. The people involved in this process include technical content writers, research heads and graphics people. Once this process is completed the title gets uploader on our platform for our clients to read it.
Step 5: Final QC/QA Process:
This is the last process and comes when the client has ordered the study. In this process a final QA/QC is done before the study is emailed to the client. Since we believe in giving our clients a good experience of our research studies, therefore, to make sure that we do not lack at our end in any way humanly possible we do a final round of quality check and then dispatch the study to the client.
