Geography and Leading Players in Lip Cancer: To reduce the risk of lip cancer, doctors
prescribe regular use of photo protective lip blocks (lip products that contain sunscreen)
because they help reduce exposure to U.V. radiation. Lip cancer market is geographically spread
across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Rest of the World. The Unites States ranks first
in lip cancer cases, followed by Asia-Pacific with considerable number of lip cancer cases. The
leading players in global lip cancer market are Astra Zeneca plc, Bristol Myers Squibb, Celgene,
Eli Lilly & Co., Hofmann La Roche, Pfizer, Sanofi Aventis, Teva Pharmaceuticals, and Novartis AG.
Clinical Trials for Lip Cancer Involves Four Phases: Clinical trials are research studies that
compare the most effective known treatment for a specific type or stage of cancer with a new
approach. It can be a new drug, or combination of drugs or a different way of using the already
established therapies. There are clinical trials for every type of cancer, to prevent cancer,
improve early diagnosis, stop the cancer from coming back, reduce side effects or improve
quality of life.
The first phase is where the drug is approved for human consumption and is tested in a small
trial to determine the optimal safe dose which often involves patients with different kinds of
cancer. In second phase, the approved drug is tested on cases with multiple cancers to
determine the optimal dosing and provide an early assessment of whether the drug works. The
third phase involves hundreds, or even thousands of patients, in multiple centres with specific
types and stages of cancer. This stage provides definitive evidence to support the approval of
the drug for use in the public. The phase four is known as post-marketing trials where the goal
is to make sure that no safety or other concerns come up after a drug is approved that may not
have been seen in the pre-approval trials.
Future of Global Lip Cancer Clinical Trials: It was observed that lip cancer clinical trials are
collated from 80 plus different clinical trial registries, conferences, journals, news, etc across
the globe. The lip cancer clinical trials database undergoes periodic update. Lip cancer is not
only claiming lives but has a huge impact on the global ec
