MARKET GROWTH FACTORS:
Rising Cancer Incidence:
An increase in cancer growing out of proportion, most especially among the elderly, is one of the driving factors behind the growth of the radiotherapy market. As the cancer rates increase, there is an increasing necessity for high-precision therapy and effective treatment options such as radiotherapy itself. Besides, it encourages the use of these treatment modalities, including early detection measures through government and health care initiatives.
Technological Advancements:
The dummy, face-to-face with litho therapy, is guiding radiotherapy. It offers the same promise as intensity modulated radiotherapy in improving quality and efficiency in delivering treatment schedules. This panacea-aided care, making treatment planning more personalized by improvements in patient treatment outcomes, is expanding the horizons of markets.
Personalized Medicine and AI Integration:
Current trends in personalized medicine, which prescribe treatment based individually differentially with regard to the genetic and environmental factors, have a positive impact on radiotherapy as an outcome predictor. Being part of the AI technologies, it becomes an important tool for personalized cancer care by optimizing dosage and outcome prediction.
