A
linear
accelerator is commonly used in external beam radiation
treatments, for patients with cancer. Linear accelerator customizes
high energy x-rays or electrons depending on a tumor’s shape and
destroys cancer cells while sparing surrounding normal tissue. It is
designed with build-up safety features to ensure that it will not
deliver a higher dose than prescribed. The linear accelerator is used
to treat all parts or organs of the body, by delivering high-energy
x-rays or electrons to the region of the patient's tumor. A radiation
oncologist prescribes the appropriate treatment volume and dosage of
radiation. Furthermore, the medical physicist and the dosimetrist
determine how to deliver the prescribed dose and calculate the amount
of time it will take the accelerator to deliver that dose. Then,
radiation therapists operate the linear accelerator and give patients
their daily radiation treatments.

Linear
Accelerators for Radiation Market – Competitor
Some
of the key players in the linear accelerators for radiation market
include Elekta AB, Siemens Healthcare, Varian Medical Systems, Inc.,
Accuray Incorporated, Shinva Medical Instrument Co., Ltd., and among
other.
Linear
Accelerators for Radiation Market Drivers
Increasing
number of initiatives by various government and private organizations
in early diagnosis of cancer, increases the survival rate, and
reduces cancer mortality rate, and this is expected to help to boost
market growth of linear accelerators for radiation. For instance, in
February 2017, World Health Organization (WHO) proposed new
guidelines to improve survival rate of people living with cancer, by
ensuring that health service providers can focus on diagnosing and
treating the disease earlier. WHO proposed three steps to early
diagnosis are: improve public awareness of different cancer symptoms,
invest in strengthening and equipping health services and training
and ensuring people living with cancer can access safe and effective
treatment. Moreover, Cancer Research UK organized Early Diagnosis
Research Conference in February 2017, to share and discuss latest
developments in early diagnosis research.
Linear
Accelerators for Radiation Market – Regional Analysis
Geographically,
global linear accelerators for radiation market is segmented into
North America, Latin America, Europe, Middle East, Asia Pacific, and
Africa. Growing adoption of linear accelerators by prominent cancer
treatment centers, worldwide; and upgrading the conventional
treatment, will augment growth of the linear accelerators for
radiation market, in the near future. In May 2016, Leeds Cancer
Centre, a leading providers of cancer care in the U.K. updated its
existing treatment equipment with eight Elekta Versa HD linear
accelerators. The Versa HD linear accelerators combined with
Volumetric Arc Therapy (VMAT) allows to deliver complex head and neck
cancer therapy up to 42% faster. Furthermore, in November 2017,
Romanian government signed for five Elekta linear accelerators, to
supply the country with sophisticated radiation therapy devices.
