Interventional Oncology Solutions Market Drivers:-
Increasing popularity of minimal invasive procedures due to advantages such as minimal risk of infection, shorter stay in the hospitals, minimal complications, minimal pain, and faster recovery as compared to invasive surgeries, is a major factor supporting the global interventional oncology solutions market growth over the forecast period. Moreover, increasing product launches is expected to aid in growth in interventional oncology solutions market size. For instance, in 2017, Terumo Corporation, a Japan-based company, launched Quirem Spheres microspheres. This is used to treat solid liver tumors, which cannot be removed by surgery completely. Microspheres consists of a radioactive isotope Holium-166. Quirem Spheres and can also be visualized in low concentrations by means of SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography) and MRI. This feature allows doctors to carefully assess distribution of microspheres in the organs such as liver, which enables in accurate assessment of treatment after SIRT (Selective Internal radiation Therapy) procedure. Half-life of Quirem Spheres is 26.8 hours, which means that within the first 4 days more than 90% of the radiation is delivered, which is followed by implantation procedure.
