Advancements in personalized medicine, immunotherapy, combination therapies, drug delivery systems, liquid biopsies, AI, and patient-centric approaches are expected to shape the future of breast cancer treatment. These trends aim to improve treatment outcomes, reduce side effects, and enhance breast cancer patients' overall quality of life.

Early disease detection plays a major role in improving patient outcomes and survival rates. Various organizations and healthcare providers are implementing screening programs to detect breast cancer at an initial stage when it is more treatable. The World Health Organization released a new Global Breast Cancer Initiative Framework in February 2013 that serves as a plan for fulfilling the goal of saving 2.5 million people from breast cancer by 2040. To achieve this, the new Framework, unveiled ahead of the World Cancer Day campaign, urges nations to follow the three pillars of health promotion for early detection, prompt diagnosis, and thorough management of breast cancer. These programs often include mammography, clinical breast exams, and self-breast exams to identify any abnormalities or signs of breast cancer. Implementing these programs has increased awareness and early detection of breast cancer cases, resulting in higher demand for effective therapeutics.

In addition, many advancements in diagnostic technologies have been witnessed across the globe. The National Library of Medicine states that early detection and precise diagnosis are essential for enhancing prognosis. Breast cancer assessment frequently makes use of radiographic imaging modalities such as digital mammography (DM), digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, and nuclear medicine procedures. Histopathology (HP) is the gold standard for determining the presence of cancer. Furthermore, using artificial intelligence (AI) technology to depict medical images quantitatively has significant potential for improving breast cancer segmentation, diagnosis, and prognosis. These technologies help healthcare providers identify the extent and characteristics of the tumor, allowing them to develop personalized treatment plans. Thus, the launch of diagnostic and screening programs, coupled with advancements in diagnostic technologies, contributes to the breast cancer therapeutics market growth.
