The increasing incidence of cancer results in a huge demand for effective treatment options. Radiotherapy is one of the continuously evolving treatment options with effective outcomes for cancer patients. The method of intervention utilizes high doses of radiation such as X-rays and gamma rays to kill cancer cells. Radiation therapy is mainly prescribed in patients with the early stages of cancer, while it can be used at any point in the treatment. Various types of external beam radiotherapy are used for the treatment of different cancer types. For instance, brachytherapy is used for the treatment of breast cancer, cervix cancer, eye cancer, prostate cancer, and head & neck cancer. Further, systemic radiation therapy, also known as radioactive iodine therapy, is used for the treatment of thyroid cancer. Thus, the increasing prevalence of cancer and the evolution of radiotherapy in oncology bolsters the radiation oncology market growth.
