Market Research Report Switzerland proton therapy centers,Global proton t | Page 2

Ken research in their recently published article, mentioned that Switzerland Proton Therapy Market has
been anticipated to grow thrice from its present market during the forecast years. Moreover, the old
proton therapy centers at CPI, PSI and Villigen are further renovated and restructured in accordance
with the developing economy and the changing requirements of the clients through the utilization of
technological advancement beginning from the year 2010. The second renovation took place in the year
2013 and is further expected to change dynamically, and therefore filling the gap between the actual
market and the potential market.
Essentially coordinated by ASTRO (the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and
Oncology), and PTCoG (the Proton Therapy Cooperative Group), these centers are delineated
and constructed exclusively for the treatment of patients, with the most updated therapeutic,
planning and diagnostic devices used which are efficaciously able to virtually eradicate almost
any type of tumor. There are also plans to build a research-focused proton beam centre majorly
invested by the Government and Cancer Research, amongst others institutes.
Fundamentally, proton therapy model works on a different principle in contrast to the
conventional radiation therapy with x-ray and photon radiation, whose direction can be
controlled precisely but penetrates throughout the entire body due to which the healthy tissue is
unnecessarily radiated, thus limiting its usage on specific grounds and pushing the market for the
proton therapy. Utilizing proton radiation, proton therapy can be directed in three dimensions
thereby, directly targeting the treatment region within the tissue, and precisely destroying the
tumor cells while preserving the surrounding healthy tissue.
