Poland’s cancer therapeutics market is expanding rapidly, driven by a growing number of cancer cases and ongoing advancements in treatment technologies. Cancer remains one of the leading causes of death in the country. In 2021, the Polish National Cancer Registry reported around 171,558 new cancer diagnoses and 93,652 cancer-related deaths. Additionally, data from the Spanish Network of Cancer Registries indicates that around 8,805 breast cancer deaths occurred in Poland that same year. This rising disease burden is fueling the demand for more innovative and effective cancer therapies.
To address the significant health and socioeconomic impact of cancer, the Polish government has introduced several key initiatives. The Ministry of Health launched the National Cancer Control Program (NCCP) to lower cancer incidence and mortality rates through prevention, early diagnosis, and enhanced treatment outcomes. In April 2020, the National Cancer Strategy 2020–2030 was implemented, replacing the earlier National Programme for Cancer Diseases Control (2016–2024). This updated strategy offers a comprehensive framework for improving cancer care in Poland and is closely aligned with Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan. Its core goals include increasing five-year survival rates, promoting early detection, and enhancing the quality of life for patients during and after treatment.
