Radiation is one of the most common
treatments for cancer and may be delivered by a machine outside the body
(external-beam radiation therapy), or it may be delivered by a radioactive
material placed in the body near cancer cells (internal radiation therapy/
brachytherapy), or by systemic radiation therapy which uses radioactive
substances, such as radioactive iodine, that travel in the blood to kill cancer
cells. About half of all cancer patients receive some type of radiation therapy
sometime during the course of their treatment. Radiation therapy is sometimes
given with curative intent.
In such cases, radiation therapy may be
used alone or in combination with surgery, chemotherapy, or both. It may also
be given with palliative intent, which is not intended to cure; instead they
relieve symptoms and reduce the suffering caused by cancer. For example,
radiation given to the brain to shrink tumours formed from cancer cells that
have spread to the brain from another part of the body.
Radiation therapy kills cancer cells either
by damaging DNA directly or creates charged particles (free radicals) within
the cells that can in turn damage the DNA, but does not travel throughout the
body as chemotherapy treatment does. But, it can cause side effects, damaging
healthy cells and tissues surrounding the tumour cells, in turn can also damage
the surrounding organs and it may also leads to develop a secondary cancer as a
result of exposure to radiation.
Today, major advances in radiation
technology have made it more precise, leading to fewer side effects with the
modern ways of giving radiation therapy and careful treatment planning aim to
reduce the risk of these complications. The radiation therapy global market is
expected to grow at mid single digit CAGR to reach 8,680.6 million by 2024.
The radiation therapy market is segmented
based on their products, technology, end-users and geography. The radiation
therapy market by products is segmented into external radiation therapy
products, internal radiation therapy products and systemic radiation therapy
products. The external radiation therapy products are further segmented into
Linear accelerators (Linacs) and proton therapy systems. The internal radiation
therapy product is further segmented into seeds, applicators &
afterloaders, others (electronic brachytherapy & accessories) and systemic
radiation therapy products are further segmented into alpha emitters and beta
emitters.
Based on technologies, the radiation
therapy market is segmented into external radiation therapy technologies,
internal radiation therapies and systemic radiation therapy technologies.
External radiation therapy technologies are further segmented into Stereotactic
radio surgery (SRS), Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), Image-guided
radiation therapy (IGRT), Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT);
Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), Intensity-modulated proton therapy
(IMPT) and others. Internal radiation therapy technology is further segmented
into High dose rate brachytherapy, low dose rate brachytherapy and others.
Based on applications, radiation therapy market is segmented into prostate
cancer, breast cancer, gynaecological cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, lung
cancer, brain cancer, head & neck cancer and others.
Based on end-users, radiation therapy
market is segmented into hospitals, radiation therapy centres, ambulatory
surgical centres and others. Further the radiation therapy global market is
separated by geographical regions into North America, Europe, Asia-pacific and
Rest of the World. North America is further segmented into U.S. and Others.
Europe is further segmented into Germany, Italy, France, and others.
Asia-pacific region is further segmented into China, Japan, India and others
and Rest of the world is further segmented into Brazil, Rest of Latin America
and Middle East & Others.
