Share, Outlook and Opportunity Analysis 2018-2026
A linear accelerator is commonly used in external beam radiation treatments, for patients with
cancer. Linear accelerator customizes high energy x-rays or electrons depending on a tumor’s
shape and destroys cancer cells while sparing surrounding normal tissue. It is designed with
build-up safety features to ensure that it will not deliver a higher dose than prescribed. The
linear accelerator is used to treat all parts or organs of the body, by delivering high-energy x-
rays or electrons to the region of the patient's tumor. A radiation oncologist prescribes the
appropriate treatment volume and dosage of radiation. Furthermore, the medical physicist and
the dosimetrist determine how to deliver the prescribed dose and calculate the amount of time
it will take the accelerator to deliver that dose. Then, radiation therapists operate the linear
accelerator and give patients their daily radiation treatments.

Linear Accelerators for Radiation Market Drivers
Increasing number of initiatives by various government and private organizations in early
diagnosis of cancer, increases the survival rate, and reduces cancer mortality rate, and this is
expected to help to boost market growth of linear accelerators for radiation. For instance, in
February 2017, World Health Organization (WHO) proposed new guidelines to improve survival
rate of people living with cancer, by ensuring that health service providers can focus on
diagnosing and treating the disease earlier. WHO proposed three steps to early diagnosis are:
improve public awareness of different cancer symptoms, invest in strengthening and equipping
health services and training and ensuring people living with cancer can access safe and effective
treatment. Moreover, Cancer Research UK organized Early Diagnosis Research Conference in
February 2017, to share and discuss latest developments in early diagnosis research.
Growth of the linear accelerators for radiation market size is driven by increasing prevalence
and incidence of various types of cancer, along with growing patient awareness programs by
government and private organizations, and rising adoption of radiotherapy in cancer treatment.
For instance, according to the Cancer Atlas: 2017, there were an estimated 14.1 million new
