Market Overview

Diagnostics refers to the identification of a disease or condition based on a patient’s signs and symptoms, as well as the methods employed to reach a diagnosis. Liver cancer diagnosis involves numerous tests that assess both the liver and blood. Each year, approximately 6,000 new liver cancer cases are documented in Spain, with a higher prevalence in men. The most frequently occurring primary liver tumor in Spain is hepatocellular carcinoma. Although cholangiocarcinoma is less prevalent, it constitutes at least 10% of primary liver cancers. Patients with liver cancer in Spain have a median survival time of 3.3 months, with possible extensions of up to 14.5 months for those with smaller tumors and maintained liver function. In 2022, 5,209 individuals in Spain succumbed to malignant liver tumors and intrahepatic bile duct cancers. Additionally, the growing occurrence of risk factors such as hepatitis B and C infections, excessive alcohol intake, and obesity serves as a significant driving force. There are opportunities for developing comprehensive screening initiatives and diagnostic instruments to identify liver cancer at earlier stages, enhancing patient outcomes and reducing mortality rates. Ongoing advancements in imaging technologies like MRI, CT scans, and ultrasound present opportunities to improve diagnostic precision. Merging artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques can further enhance diagnostic accuracy, facilitating early detection and effective treatment planning, ultimately bettering patient care and prognosis.
