Results for tag: "Hadron Therapy"

Hadron therapy is a type of radiotherapy used to treat cancer. It is a form of particle therapy, which uses beams of charged particles, such as protons or carbon ions, to target and destroy cancer cells. The particles are delivered to the tumor site with high precision, allowing for a more targeted approach to treatment than traditional radiotherapy. This reduces the risk of damage to healthy tissue and organs, and can result in fewer side effects. Hadron therapy is increasingly being used to treat a variety of cancers, including brain, head and neck, lung, prostate, and pediatric cancers. It is also being used to treat tumors that are difficult to reach with traditional radiotherapy. The hadron therapy market is growing rapidly, driven by the increasing prevalence of cancer and the growing demand for more precise and effective treatments. The market is expected to continue to grow in the coming years, as more healthcare providers adopt hadron therapy and more research is conducted into its potential applications. Some of the major companies in the hadron therapy market include Hitachi, Varian Medical Systems, Elekta, IBA, ProTom International, and RaySearch Laboratories. Show Less Read more
