Global Radiation Therapy Market Report: 2011 Edition New Market Reports by Koncept Analytics

Oct. 16, 2011 - PRLog -- Radiation Therapy refers to the medical use of ionizing radiation as a part of cancer treatment to control malignant cells by destroying their DNA. Various types of radiations are generally used for the treatment. Some of the major ones include: high energy photons, electron beams, proton beams and neutron beams. In the treatment, radiation can either come from a machine outside the body, called external beam radiation therapy or from radioactive material placed inside the body, which in this case is called internal radiation therapy or brachytherapy. Some of the major types of external radiation therapy treatments include: 3D-CRT, IMRT, IGRT, Tomotherapy, Stereotactic radiosurgery, SBRT and Proton Therapy.

Due to the increasing use of radiation therapy treatment, owing to its highly accurate and targeted nature, the radiation therapy market worldwide had witnessed double-digit growth in the past decade. The technological advancements taking place in the field have made the treatment more effective and precise, thereby improving its use. North America represents the largest RT market, followed by EMEA, both of which are generally characterized as replacement markets. Asia Pacific and Latin America offer potential for future growth in the new installations.

There are many opportunities which would benefit the market in future; some of them include the low penetration rates in the emerging countries, the ageing of the RT equipments in developed regions, and the proton therapy treatment. Also, the increasing number of cancer cases, growth in obese population, increasing consumption of alcohol and tobacco, and improving reimbursement trends are few important drivers affecting the industry.
