Also, the rising prevalence of gastric cancers such as metastatic gastric cancer is again contributing to the growth of the Herceptin biosimilar market. According to the US National Library of Medicine’s report published in 2018, gastric cancer is the fifth most common neoplasm in people and the third most deadly cancer across the globe.
