Japan: Recent Industry Developments
✅ In November 2025, A Japanese-led research team developed AUN, an immune-independent bacterial cancer therapy using two harmonized bacteria to destroy tumors, offering potential for patients with weakened immune systems.
✅ In August 2025, Researchers at Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) unveiled a groundbreaking bacterial therapy that triggers anticancer effects through selective intratumoral thrombosis and necrosis, independent of the immune system.
✅ In June 2025, Nagoya University scientists designed new CAR-T cells targeting the Eva1 protein for solid tumors, successfully eliminating tumors in lab models and advancing treatment for difficult-to-treat cancers.

United States: Recent Industry Developments
✅ In December 2025, Rockefeller University researchers discovered a hidden spring-like motion in T cell receptors, potentially explaining immunotherapy variability and enabling improvements for broader patient response.
✅ In 2025, Phase III KEYNOTE-689 trial results showed pembrolizumab (Keytruda) before and after surgery for locally advanced head and neck cancer increased pathologic response by 13.7% and reduced recurrence by 34%.
✅ In September 2025, FDA granted breakthrough therapy designation to olomorasib combined with pembrolizumab for advanced cancer treatment, accelerating combination immunotherapy development.
✅ In 2025, Advances in ctDNA-guided immunotherapy post-surgery for mismatch repair-deficient cancers achieved stunning results, sparing many patients from additional treatments.

Cancer Immunotherapy Market: Drivers
The cancer immunotherapy market is driven by rising global cancer incidence, with nearly 20 million new cases in 2022 projected to reach 29.90 million by 2040. Increasing R&D investments and new approvals for checkpoint inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies, and cell therapies expand treatment options. Growing adoption for multiple indications improves outcomes over traditional therapies.
Another driver is technological advancements in personalized medicine, CAR-T cells, and bispecific antibodies. Regulatory support, including expedited FDA approvals, and focus on overcoming resistance mechanisms sustain growth. High efficacy in previously untreatable cancers and combination strategies fuel market momentum.
