Market Outline: Global Proton Therapy Market
Proton therapy is also known as proton beam radiation therapy. Proton is a positively charged particle, and in high energy levels protons can destroy the cancer cells. Proton therapy is a non-invasive procedure in which proton radiation used to treat cancer. Proton therapy is a type of external beam radiation therapy, that painlessly delivers radiation through the skin from outside of the body. For the treatment of cancer, proton therapy may be prescribed alone or along with the other treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, general radiation therapy and or immunotherapy.
Global proton therapy market is mainly driven by an increase in the adaptation of non-invasive therapies in the treatment of cancer. In addition, growing number of radiation centers globally coupled with the increase in the prevalence of the cancer cases expected to fuel the market growth over the forecast period. Furthermore, proton therapy is more advantageous than the other radiation therapies. Proton therapy delivers up to 60% less radiation to healthy tissue around the tumor and has fewer side effects during and after the treatment. Based on above-mentioned factors global proton therapy market is expected to increase its traction over the forecast period. However, a high cost of proton radiation therapy and stringent regulatory procedures may hamper the global proton therapy market over the forecast period.
