Market Trend
One trend in radiosurgery and radiotherapy robotics market is use for extracranial radiosurgery
treatments. Extracranial radiosurgery is expected to gain traction during the forecast period as a new
treatment option to treat tumors of the liver, lung, and spine, and other complicated cases. CyberKnife
technology is especially useful in treating tumors with sub-millimeter precision.
Other treatments require metal frames for tumors of brain, head, and neck, and body casts to limit
movement during treatments of lung, liver, pancreas and kidney. Also, the treatment of prostate
involves injection of hardening chemicals or rectal balloons. On the other hand, robotic systems like
CyberKnife have the ability to conduct radiosurgeries without the requirement of any restricting frames,
while ensuring greater accuracy in targeting a moving tumor.
Market Driver
One driver in radiosurgery and radiotherapy robotics market is increase in cancer cases and
retreatments. A growing number of physicians and hospitals, which specialize in oncology treatments,
are expected to adopt radiosurgery and radiotherapy for treatment of lesions and tumors. This is
because these treatments enable a shorter treatment time and greater patient throughput, which
ensures that the patient is immobilized on the treatment couch for a shorter period and allows patients
to resume regular daily life soon.
For physicians, it implies that there is a lesser probability of the tumor moving during the treatment,
thus reducing throughput. This can eventually result in a higher number of patients being treated on a
daily basis, hence greater revenue. Another major driver, especially for radiosurgery, is the rise in the
cases of retreatment and relapse that makes radiosurgery a preferred choice as it involves a precise
dose distribution, thus limiting the exposure of healthy tissues to excessive radiation.
Market Challenge
One challenge in radiosurgery and radiotherapy robotics market is high maintenance and equipment
cost. Globally, end-users are gradually adopting robotic treatments in the healthcare sector. The
adoption of robotic systems is better in developed countries of the Americas and Europe. Meanwhile,
