Global Particle Therapy Market Definition

Particle Therapy is an energetic beam of proton and neutron which is a form of external beam radiotherapy, it is also known as Hadron therapy. Mostly particle therapy is used to treat cancer by aiming for energetic ionizing particles at the tumor site. Particle therapy damages the DNA of cells which ultimately leads to cell death. Particle therapy (PT) is a kind of external beam radiotherapy (RT) that uses positively charged particles such as protons and carbon ions instead of photons. These particles have more favorable intrinsic physical properties displaying a finite adjustable range and an inverse depth dose profile, which reduces entrance dose to about 50% of the dose delivered in a clinically relevant target.

As a consequence, particle therapy can achieve a marginally better dose distribution in the target with substantially better sparing of surrounding healthy tissues compared to the most advanced photon RT techniques. This accelerated spread of PT has been due partially to encouraging results achieved by pioneering institutions and partially to developments in target definition and patient positioning that have made the additional precision of PT more necessary and profitable. Proton therapy and carbon ion radiotherapy are not equivalent and each has its peculiar issues both on the physical and medical side.

Training should be focused on the particle that will be used in the planned facility. Cancer of the head and neck is challenging to treat due to the large number of critical normal structures located in a small, confined space. Both acute toxicity and long-term treatment-related morbidity from surgery and radiation is high. Proton therapy has been investigated for treatment of head and neck cancers, particularly nasal cavity, paranasal sinus, and nasopharyngeal tumors that are generally not amenable to surgical resection. The treatment of head and neck cancer with proton therapy is evolving, particularly as new methods for modulating beam shape and size (such as intensity-modulated proton therapy) become more readily available.

Global Particle Therapy Market Overview

The elements such as the high degree of precision for particle therapy, lower side effects and shorter time required for treatment in comparison to conventional therapy are promoting the market growth of particle therapy. Also, the increase in research funding, rise in particle therapy centers and rise in numbers of cancer patients and clinical trials are fueling the growth of Particle Therapy Market worldwide. On the contrary, limited insurance coverage for particle therapy and non-favorable reimbursement policies are restricting the market growth of particle therapy.

However, rising adoption by developing countries and the adoption of pencil-beam scanning will provide fruitful opportunities for particle therapy in upcoming years. The increasing need to develop advanced and effective therapies to fight against cancer is one of the most significant Particle Therapy Market growth drivers. Also, several hospitals worldwide are setting up particle therapy systems to provide better care to patients. However, the lack of insurance coverage for particle therapy and various infrastructural challenges may hinder growth.

In addition, increasing the latest technological advancements and modernization in the healthcare machinery, growing research and development activities in the healthcare sector, and rising emerging markets with an increasing geriatric population base will further create new opportunities for Particle Therapy Market in the forecasted period. Moreover, expanding infrastructural challenges in healthcare facilities, increasing affordability and accessibility of treatments, and rising unfavorable reimbursement policies and limited insurance coverage for particle therapy are the major factors among others that will obstruct the market growth and will further challenge the growth of Particle Therapy Market in the forecast period.

Global Particle Therapy Market Segmentation Analysis

The Global Particle Therapy Market is Segmented on the basis of Type, Product, Application, And Geography.

Particle Therapy Market, By Type

• Heavy Ion• Proton Therapy

Based on Type, The market is segmented into Heavy Ion and Proton Therapy. The Proton Therapy segment holds a big market share. This is due to elements such as the high degree of precision, shorter treatment time, and reduced side-effects associated with proton therapy as compared to conventional photon therapies using X-rays. In heavy-ion radiotherapy, heavy ions (carbon ions) accelerated to approximately 70% of light speed are used to attack cancers deep in the body. In conventional X-ray radiotherapy, the radiation dose decreases as the depth of penetration in the body increases.

Global Particle Therapy Market, By Product

• Cyclotrons• Synchrotrons• Synchrocyclotrons

Based on Product, The market is segmented into Cyclotrons, Synchrotrons, and Synchrocyclotrons. The Synchrotrons segment holds a big market share. The magnification of the synchrotrons segment is attributed to factors such as the rising number of research activities as well as the increasing investments in the development of synchrotron facilities.

Particle Therapy Market, By Application

• Treatment Application• Research Application

Based on Application, The market is segmented into Treatment Application and Research Application. The Treatment Application segment holds a big market share. Aspects driving the growth of the treatment applications segment include the growing number of cancer patients globally, expansion of government initiatives, and the rising availability of funding for the adoption of modern cancer treatment technologies.
