The rectal cancer pipeline has grown as pharmaceutical companies are
attracted by the high incidence and success of other developers.
Cytotoxics will remain an integral part of treatment, but with key
brands expected to come off patent over the forecast period and the
approval of new therapies, treatment of this growing market is set to
evolve.
Features and benefits
The standard of care for Stage I–III rectal cancer is based around surgical resection. The use of radiotherapy-based treatment increases with stage, with 66% of Stage IIIc patients treated with surgery and chemoradiation. However, Japanese physicians interviewed indicated that they did not use chemoradiation.
First-line treatment of metastatic rectal cancer is based on chemotherapy. Datamonitor’s survey indicated that 85% of Stage IV patients receive treatment containing chemotherapy, and 34% receive chemotherapy without any additional therapy. The use of chemoradiation in the first-line setting can impact treatment choices in the second-line.
Datamonitor’s survey indicated that the use of targeted therapies in the first- and second-line settings will increase. Increasing pressure to demonstrate cost-effectiveness of drugs and anticipated approval of new targeted therapies means the use of companion diagnostics will play an increasingly important role in the treatment of rectal cancer.

DISEASE DEFINITION AND DIAGNOSIS
Disease definition
Colorectal cancer is the third most common tumor type and cause of cancer-related death in both men and women
The only differentiator between colon cancer and rectal cancer is primary tumor location
Etiology
Adenomas are precursors to the majority of colorectal cancer cases
Inherited and environmental factors are instrumental in the etiology of colorectal cancer
Symptoms
Change in bowel habits is the principle symptom of colorectal cancer
Prognosis
Survival rates for colorectal cancer patients still lag behind those in other high-incidence indications
Presentation and diagnosis
Screening reduces colorectal cancer incidence and mortality
Influences on diagnosis and treatment rates
Screen for Life: National Colorectal Cancer Action Campaign
In 2012 the "Be clear on cancer" campaign was launched in the UK
Referral patterns
Referral is dictated by stage at diagnosis and treatment approach
PATIENT SEGMENTATION
Stage distribution
The American Joint Committee on Cancer TNM classification system has replaced the older Dukes' staging system
