Radiotherapy, also known as radiation therapy, is a common medical treatment used in the Philippines, as it is in many countries, to treat various medical conditions, primarily cancer. Radiotherapy involves the use of high-energy radiation, such as X-rays or gamma rays, to target and destroy cancer cells or shrink tumors. It can be used alone or in combination with other treatments, like surgery or chemotherapy. In the Philippines, radiotherapy services are typically offered at specialized medical facilities, including cancer centers, hospitals, and radiation therapy centers.
Market Dynamics:
The rising prevalence of cancer, government initiatives, and initiatives taken by private players in this country are major factors expected to propel growth of the Philippines radiotherapy market. Moreover, the adoption of modern radiotherapy equipment and techniques, such as Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT), and Stereotactic Radiosurgery, has improved treatment outcomes and reduced side effects. These technological advancements are driving the growth of the Philippines radiotherapy market. Additionally, private hospitals and cancer treatment centers in the Philippines are investing in state-of-the-art radiotherapy facilities to meet the growing demand for cancer treatment services. These private sector investments contribute to the expansion of the market.
For instance, with the rise in the burden of cancer, the usage of radiotherapy is anticipated to increase over the forecasted period.
