Brachytherapy Afterloaders Market – Insights
In brachytherapy, a closed radiation source is positioned directly into or next to area that requires treatment. The radiotherapy is used for the treatment of various types of cancer such as breast, cervical, skin, and prostate cancer. A high energy X-ray is generated by the source and guided from outside the body with the help of radiation system in a normal External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT). The rays are focused on the tumor. In brachytherapy, a radioactive material is directly placed inside the tumor or next to it. Brachytherapy focuses on treatment of a particular area around the radiation source. This in turn helps to reduce exposure of radiation on healthy tissues.

Brachytherapy reduces the chances of surviving cancer cells to grow and divide in the long intervals between each radiotherapy session. There are two types of brachytherapy afterloaders that include: low dose rate (LDR) afterloader and high dose rate (HDR) afterloader.
Increasing prevalence of cancer to augment the market growth
High incidence of cancer is a prime factor boosting growth of the global brachytherapy afterloaders market. For instance, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) 2018 report, cancer was the second-leading cause of death around the globe and was responsible for around 8.8 million death in 2015. Globally, around 1 out of 6 deaths is due to cancer. According to the same report, most common causes of cancer death was lung cancer with around 1.69 million deaths followed by liver cancer with 788,000 deaths, colorectal 774,000 deaths, stomach 754,000 deaths, and breast cancer having 571,000 deaths.
Increasing geriatric population is also expected to boost the market growth as this group is more vulnerable to cancer. For instance, according to United Nation 2017 report, the geriatric population in 2017 is expected to increase over double by 2050 and to over triple by 2100. These figures are expected to rise from 962 million globally in 2017 to 2.1 billion in 2050 and 3.1 billion in 2100.
Furthermore, high adoption of brachytherapy is contributing to growth of the market. For instance, in 2017, iCAD Inc. introduced Xoft electronic brachytherapy system at two of its California-based oncology centers – Sherman Oaks Radiation Therapy Center and Santa Clarita Radiation Therapy Center.
