1 Breast Cancer Imaging South America Analysis and Market Forecasts GDME1036CFR / Published May 2013

2 Executive Summary Breast Cancer Imaging: Key Metrics in South American* markets 2011 Market Sales Brazil $42m Key Features of the Report Number of imaging techniques covered 17 Number of marketed products analyzed 51 Competitors profiled 17 Key Events ( ) Results of the Oslo Breast Cancer Screening Trial Results of the TOMMY trial Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of GE Healthcare and Siemens Healthcare tomosynthesis systems 2018 Market Sales Level of Impact Brazil $71m Source: GlobalData, 2013 South America = Brazil breast cancer imaging market GlobalData calculated the South American (Brazil) breast cancer imaging market to be worth $42m in 2011 and estimates that it will be worth $71m in 2018, increasing at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 8% during this time period. The key drivers for the South American breast cancer imaging market are: Increase in the incidence of breast cancer Increased awareness of the benefits of screening Increased breast cancer incidence due to an aging population FDA reclassification of mammography equipment New technologies to drive growth in the market Adoption of digital mammography units in South America The key barriers for the South American breast cancer imaging market are: A shortage of dedicated breast radiologists High capital Investment for full-field digital mammography (FFDM) and tomosynthesis in the face of reduced hospital budgets Refurbished equipment sales Reimbursement issues Page 2 GDME1036CFR / Published MAY 2013

3 Executive Summary Significant Unmet Needs and Challenges for the South American Breast Cancer Imaging Market Even though the South American breast cancer imaging market is a mature one, it has significant needs that still have not been met. Some of these include exposure to ionizing radiation during mammographic examinations, patient discomfort due to compression of the breasts, unreliable mammograms in breasts that have been operated on and breasts with implants, a high number of false-positives and false-negatives, loss of mammography sensitivity in dense breasts, and limited training provided to technicians by equipment manufacturers. A few of these unmet needs are being addressed to a certain extent by using modalities such as ultrasound imaging and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in conjunction with mammography. However, there is a still a lot of room for improvement within the market, and new technologies currently in development that overcome these drawbacks show promise for the future. Future Landscape The South American breast cancer imaging market is primarily driven by the increasing incidence of breast cancer. It is also fueled by the need to overcome the drawbacks posed by film screen mammography, which is the most widely used technique for breast cancer detection and diagnosis in this region. GlobalData anticipates that newer technologies, such as digital mammography and tomosynthesis, will drive the future growth of this market. Tomosynthesis is predicted to be the new gold standard in the near future, with high adoption is western countries, including the US, due to its promising increase in cancer detection and reduction of false-positives, which are key concerns with mammography. In Brazil, FFDM systemswill continue to grow rapidly with a modest uptake in tomosynthesis, since digital mammography has yet to be widely adopted in these regions and the breast cancer incidence is rising steadily. What do Physicians Think? Radiologists feel that mammography is not an ideal tool for breast screening and there are significant unmet needs. Mammography is a useful tool, but it s a bad technique. Key Opinion Leader, January 2013 The biggest challenge [is] to have patient comfort [during] mammography, that s number one, I think Key Opinion Leader, January 2013 Radiologists feel strongly that tomosynthesis is very promising and will most likely replace digital mammography, the current paradigm. Mammography is a useful tool, but it s a bad technique. Key Opinion Leader, January 2013 I think there is space for everything...but the word is digital, the word is 3D.[The] breast is a 3D organ. Why should we look at [it] in 2D images? Key Opinion Leader, January 2013 If it s [tomosynthesis] going to find more cancers and fewer recalls, then it should be a win-win. Key Opinion Leader, December 2012 I ll tell you today that I am 95% sure that tomosynthesis is mammography s future and conventional mammography is gone. Key Opinion Leader, January 2013 Page 3 GDME1036CFR / Published MAY 2013

4 Executive Summary If I have to put money in something, I will put it in tomosynthesis and MRI [in the] short term [and in the] long term, maybe.. molecular imaging techniques. Key Opinion Leader, January 2013 Radiologists feel that the impact of tomosynthesis compared with digital mammography is much greater in comparison to the change from analog to digital mammography. The change from analog to digital mammography [in the US], went so fast, so quickly. amazing, now almost 90% [adoption]...if you look at the FDA site 90% [adoption], I mean it is incredible. So, what my way of thought is, I say, look if from analog to digital, it was not such a big deal, by that I mean it was the same technology, only digital The difference was not so big [so only small improvement], like it is from mammography to tomosynthesis. You are talking about [image] slices; you are talking about 3D [imaging] [so large improvement].i think, the gain between digital [2D FFDM] and tomo[synthesis] is much, much, much higher than it was from analog to digital. Key Opinion Leader, January 2013 Radiologists feel that there is not enough commitment from the manufacturers towards technician training. A banker can buy a machine much faster than anyone out there, right? But I mean the banker cannot get a good image. Key Opinion Leader, January 2013 Training is needed because if the technician has not given good positioning, whatever good factors may be there, good equipment may be there, you won t be able to see things. Key Opinion Leader, December 2012 Radiologists feel that in the future, they foresee more emphasis being placed on lowering radiation dose. [On future market trends] there is going to be more emphasis on low [radiation] dose, understanding breast density, and being efficient doing more with less. Key Opinion Leader, December 2012 If there is a good product which does good imaging and it has low [radiation] dose and it s reliable, then it may be of value.

21 Introduction 2 Introduction Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women in both the developed and developing world, but is a rare disease in men. The global incidence of breast cancer is increasing due to an increased lifespan and increasing adoption of a westernized lifestyle, which is associated with an increased risk of the disease. Early diagnosis of breast cancer is the foundation for increasing survival rates, and diagnostic imaging is the most widely used technique to achieve early detection, making it a cornerstone of breast cancer control. Diagnostic imaging is used for the early detection of breast cancer in asymptomatic patients in population-based screening programs in most developed countries, or for opportunistic screening in developing nations. Regardless of these differences, imaging has proved to be an indispensable tool in fighting breast cancer and has been proven to reduce mortality. This report provides an analysis of the mammography market in relation to dedicated breast cancer screening and diagnosis in South America (Brazil) and identifies the unmet needs in the market. This report also discusses physician attitudes towards current breast cancer screening and diagnostic techniques, and the future of breast cancer imaging modalities in the face of rapid technological advancements. 2.1 Catalyst The South American breast cancer imaging market is a mature industry with complex dynamics. Therefore, it is essential to examine the market opportunities and barriers that are specific to this region. This report provides an in-depth review of the evolving technologies and the regulatory landscape in the South American breast cancer imaging market. Another key issue, that is discussed, is that purchasing decisions concerning breast cancer screening and diagnostic imaging equipment are complex. Firstly, breast cancer screening and diagnosis involves the challenge of making major purchasing decisions concerning new capital equipment in a technologically fast-evolving market. Secondly, diagnostic imaging modalities are often multipurpose in nature, and so equipment purchasing decisions are not solely driven by the needs of breast cancer screening and diagnosis. For example, a diagnostic mammogram is accompanied by ultrasound imaging in over 50% of cases, but the ultrasound equipment also has various other applications for imaging other parts of the human body. Since the prevalence of breast cancer is higher in women than in men, this report is restricted to the use of imaging techniques for breast cancer screening and diagnosis in women.
