In the same factsheet by the WHO, in 2020, prostate cancer was the fourth most prevalent cancer type globally and accounted for 1.41 million new cases. Urethral strictures have been associated as a complication of radiation treatment for prostate and rectal cancers, surgery for an enlarged prostate or prostate cancer, or trauma to the genitals or perineum. It has been established in various studies that radiation therapy for cancer treatment, particularly prostate cancer, leads to reduced vascularity around the treatment area. 

Furthermore, the risk for developing urethral strictures appear to enhance further in patient receiving both the brachytherapy and external beam radiation therapy. Additionally, it has also been reported that radial prostatectomy also significantly increases the chances of the formation of urethral strictures thereby indicating that treatment of cancers in the pelvic region may result in the formation of urethral strictures. 

Therefore, the rising prevalence of cancers in the pelvic region may result in the increased incidence of urethral strictures which in turn may drive the demand for urethral strictures treatment devices ultimately driving the urethral strictures treatment devices market during the forecast period (2021-2026).
