The Cancer Immunotherapy Market was valued at approximately USD 120 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a substantial CAGR of around 10% during the forecast period (2024-2032)

Since the early 2000s, cancer immunotherapy has emerged as one of the most transformative advancements in oncology, fundamentally changing how cancer is treated. Unlike conventional therapies, immunotherapy harnesses the body’s own immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells, offering improved outcomes across multiple cancer types. As scientific understanding deepens, rapid innovation continues to shape the future of this treatment approach.

Advancements in Checkpoint Inhibitors

Checkpoint inhibitors remain among the most significant breakthroughs in cancer immunotherapy. These therapies work by blocking proteins that prevent immune cells from attacking cancer, allowing the immune system to respond more effectively.

In August 2024, Merck announced that PD-L1 expression thresholds for advanced gastric, gastroesophageal junction (GEJ), and esophageal cancers—particularly for immune checkpoint inhibitors such as KEYTRUDA (pembrolizumab)—will be reviewed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee (ODAC). This discussion highlights the ongoing refinement of patient selection criteria to improve treatment effectiveness.

Earlier, in August 2022, Bristol Myers Squibb received FDA approval for Opdualag™, a first-in-class fixed-dose combination of nivolumab and relatlimab-rmbw. Approved for adult and pediatric patients aged 12 years and older with unresectable or metastatic melanoma, Opdualag demonstrated superior outcomes compared to nivolumab alone in the Phase 2/3 RELATIVITY-047 clinical trial. This milestone underscores the growing importance of combination immunotherapies in oncology.

Emerging Checkpoint Targets

While PD-1 and CTLA-4 inhibitors have dominated the market, newer checkpoint targets are expanding treatment possibilities. Therapies targeting TIM-3, LAG-3, and other novel immune checkpoints are currently in early-stage clinical trials. These next-generation inhibitors may offer effective alternatives for patients who do not respond to existing immunotherapies, potentially broadening clinical applicability and improving survival rates.

Broader Trends in Cancer Immunotherapy

Beyond checkpoint inhibitors, cancer immunotherapy continues to evolve through innovations such as CAR-T cell therapy, cancer vaccines, and combination treatment strategies. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into drug discovery and patient stratification is also accelerating research and improving clinical outcomes. These advancements are helping clinicians tailor therapies to individual patients, enhancing both efficacy and safety.
