Advanced technologies, notably artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, are being integrated to enhance treatment plan precision and personalization.
The industry is witnessing a notable shift towards more accurate tumor targeting with the rise of image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) and intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), which aim to minimize collateral damage to healthy tissues.
Proton therapy is gaining traction, especially for pediatric cancers and tumors near critical structures, due to its superior dose distribution precision. Hypofractionated radiotherapy, which administers higher doses in fewer sessions, is increasingly favored for its cost-effectiveness and convenience.
Moreover, heightened R&D investments are fueling innovations in radiotherapy equipment and techniques. Collaborations between healthcare providers and tech firms are driving the development of cutting-edge radiotherapy solutions, further fueling market growth.
