Brachytherapy or internal radiation therapy is a type of radiotherapy where a sealed radioactive source is placed inside or next to the area requiring treatment. Brachytherapy offers advantages such as precise delivery of radiation doses to cancerous tissues with minimal exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. It is commonly used in treating cancers of prostate, breast, cervix, and other internal organs. The global brachytherapy market is estimated to be valued at US$ 972.21 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 19% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market key trends:

The increased application of brachytherapy for treating cancerous tumors in tissues such as breast and prostate is expected to drive the growth of brachytherapy market over the forecast period. Brachytherapy offers several advantages over conventional external beam radiation therapy as it allows delivery of higher and more concentrated doses of radiation to cancerous tissues while limiting the radiation exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. With the rising prevalence of cancer worldwide, brachytherapy is gaining increased acceptance among patients and healthcare providers as an effective treatment option with minimal side effects. The technological advancements in brachytherapy such as high dose rate brachytherapy and 3D imaging guided brachytherapy are further supporting the market growth.

Segment Analysis
