Brain tumors are caused by the growth of abnormal cells in the brain. At Alfa Cytology, we are committed to helping our clients unravel the complexity of these diseases by providing integrated preclinical research solutions.
Introduction to Brain Tumors
Brain tumors are a large group of heterogeneous tumors that affect the central nervous system and include some of the deadliest cancers. Primary malignant brain tumors remain one of the deadliest cancers, despite a better understanding of their tumorigenic processes and a multimodal approach to treatment in recent years. Brain tumors are also the most common solid tumor in children and are the leading cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality in this population.

Therapy Development for Brain Tumors
The brain tumor diagnosis and treatment market were worth around USD 1,395.7 million in 2021 and is estimated to grow to about USD 2,036.5 million by 2028, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 6.5 percent over the forecast period.

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a major factor contributing to the inefficiency of various therapies for brain tumors. Through innovative approaches such as nanotechnology-based carriers, receptor-mediated delivery systems and focused ultrasound technology, researchers have made significant advances in improving drug delivery to brain tumors and increasing treatment success.
