Mevion Medical Systems Signed An Agreement With Chung Shan Medical University Hospital And Asys Corp For Proton Therapy Market


The rising prevalence of cancer is fostering the growth of the global proton therapy market. According to the World Health Organization, around 18.1 million new cases and 9.6 million deaths were registered due to cancer worldwide in the year 2018. A growing number of healthcare facilities that offer proton therapy is again contributing to the growth of the market. For example, in February 2020, Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board approved the OSF HealthCare plan to construct a cancer care center that offers proton-beam therapy. Major players are focusing on expanding their presence across emerging economies which is further expected to accelerate the growth of the proton therapy market. For instance, in February 2020, Ion Beam Applications S.A. signed a contract to install a ProteusONE compact proton therapy solution at the RSPAD Gatot Soebroto Presidential Hospital in Jakarta, Indonesia.

  1. In November 2019, Mevion Medical Systems signed an agreement with Chung Shan Medical University Hospital and ASYS Corp to provide advanced proton therapy in Central Taiwan.

  2. In March 2020, Stantec, a design and construction firm, delivered Johns Hopkins Hospital (U.S.) a new medical facility devoted specifically to proton therapy

  3. In February 2021, Varian has started the installation of the cyclotron and gantry for its ProBeam® 360° single-room proton therapy system at Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health's Ann B. Barshinger Cancer Institute

North America is expected to hold a dominant position in the global proton therapy market in the near future and this is attributed to an increasing partnership among key players in the region. For instance, in January 2020, Ion Beam Applications S.A. entered into partnership with International Charity Foundation Cartu to install a ProteusONE solution in Georgia (U.S.)

In the world of medical therapy, proton therapy, also known as proton therapy or proton radiography, is a form of electromagnetic radiation therapy which uses an electric beam of protons to target diseased tissue. It has been found that by using the therapy, the number of cancer cells reduces more quickly and effectively than the use of chemotherapy alone. This therapy also stimulates the immune system. Radiosurgery has replaced many operations and is preferred over surgery, not only because it is less expensive but also because it is safer. The procedure is very effective in treating malignant tumors, with the use of contrast agents and additional measures before surgery.

Engine Actuators Market Structure And Its Segmentation For The Period 2026

Image
  Global Engine Actuators Market Overview: An engine actuator is a mechanical device that converts mechanical energy from any source of energy. Depending on the type of system utilised in engine applications, the converting energy is frequently in the form of electrical, pneumatic, or hydraulic energy. Actuators are commonly found in the engine system's drive mechanism, which is connected to the primary transmission system of engine blocks. Internal relays in the engine system are utilised to operate control valves for gases and fluids, and these are known as actuators. Engine actuators guarantee efficient fuel combustion and consistent engine idle. Engine actuators are used in a variety of applications, including air flap regulation for torque optimization and fuel flow metering for combustion process optimization. Engine actuators market growth is being driven by factors such as high engine power output and the necessity for fuel control in commercial vehicles. Furthermore, durin

Ketones Continue To Witness Major Applications In The Production Of Varnishes, Plastics, Paint Remover, And Paraffin Wax

Image
Ketones (also known as Ketostix) are chemical intermediates of ketones. Ketones are a state of high levels of plasma acetylcholine that occur when the brain's neurons release acetylcholine and begin to fire in a frenzy, similar to how a biker's fingers fire off at high speed after being stuck into a stoplight. However, unlike a biker's fingers, ketones do not immediately go off and stop at your fingers; they are produced in the liver over several hours. The ketone bodies are actually a reversible metabolic state produced mainly by acetylcholine and is used as a primary energy source for lipolysis and fat burning. Ketones  can be produced abundantly in the human body when carbohydrates (or other fuel) is ingested. However, ketones are not absorbed into the bloodstream when carbohydrate intake increases except instead are carried away into the liver to be released as acetone. The most common names for acetone are carbonyl group A, acetone, and butanoic acid. In addition, keto

Anesthesia Endotracheal Tube Market to Witness Increasing Revenue Growth During the Forecast Period 2019–2027

Image
Anesthesia endotracheal tubes are made of polyvinylchloride (PVC) and must be utilized one time. These cylinders are catheters, which are embedded into the tracheal cylinders to direct sedatives during surgeries. Moreover, these cylinders are utilized to convey oxygen, xenon, and sedative specialists, for example, sevoflurane and isoflurane. Besides, it is an option for other medication conveyance frameworks as they are additionally used to control different drugs, for example, ipratropium, salbutamol, and lidocaine. Development in the commonness of respiratory infections like persistent obstructive pneumonic problems, aspiratory embolism, rest issues like obstructive rest apnea, expanding medical procedures, and development in geriatric populace who is powerless to respiratory issues and medical procedures drive the development of the anesthesia endotracheal tube market . An increment in interests in the medical services area by states and private associations are expected to support
