Forecast 2015 - 2021
Persistence Market Research Released New Market Report on “Brachytherapy Devices
Market - Global Industry Analysis and Forecast 2015 - 2021”.
The global radiation therapy equipment market is classified into external radiation therapy
equipment market and internal radiation therapy equipment market. Brachytherapy devices
market is a sub segment under the internal radiation therapy equipment market. Brachytherapy
is referred to as sealed source radiation therapy because the radiation source is sealed and
placed inside or near the body part requiring radiation therapy. Besides the treatment of most
body part tumors, brachytherapy is commonly used to treat the cancers of the cervix, breast,
skin, and prostate. The radiation source is enclosed in a protective wire or a protective capsule
and ionizing radiations escape to treat the surrounding cancerous tissues only while avoiding its
effects on body fluids.

The advantage of brachytherapy devices over other forms of radiation therapy equipment is that
it involves high precision in radiation source placement in the anatomy. One of the key features
of brachytherapy devices is that they limit the radiation effects only to the local, diseased
(tumors or cancers) parts of the anatomy. Hence, the healthy tissues are protected against
radiation. Brachytherapy devices pave the way for a safe radiation therapy treatment in the
presence of high, localized doses of radiation. The nature of brachytherapy devices makes it a
durable form of treatment delivery as the re-occurrence of cancer in the patient treated with
brachytherapy is rare. Brachytherapy is often...
