Linear Accelerators for Radiation Market -
size, 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
