Latin America Oncology Device Market

When looking for a treatment for cancer, oncology devices are often an area of great interest. In recent years, there has been a tremendous increase in the number of cancer patients who are turning to other alternative treatments and complementary care options, including oncology devices. According to Globocan 2018, Brazil recorded 559, 371 new cases of lung cancer in 2018. Such scenario is expected to aid in growth of Latin America oncology device market.

Oncology devices are used in a combination of surgery and radiation therapy. When a patient has cancer, their doctor usually recommends surgery for the removal of any cancerous growths, as well as the removal of any lymph nodes surrounding the cancerous areas. During the surgery, the doctor can either remove the entire tumor or only part of it, depending on the size and location of the tumor. After the surgery, the patient will undergo radiation therapy, which is used to kill any remaining cancer cells that remain after the initial surgery. Thus, increasing adoption of radiation therapy radiation therapy is expected to aid in growth of the Latin America oncology device market.

Oncology equipment include radiators, robotic devices, and bone augers. These types of devices help to improve the overall outcome of radiation therapy because they increase the odds of hitting the cancerous areas of the body that receive high levels of radiation. In addition, oncology equipment is often used alongside rehabilitative and psychological treatments that may help the cancer patient feel better and boost his or her morale and ability to fight off the cancer. Thus, increasing adoption of rehabilitative and psychological treatments is also expected to aid in growth of the Latin America oncology device market.

Today, cancer patients have a variety of options for their treatment, from conventional treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy to minimally invasive procedures such as cryotherapy and liver or bone marrow transplants. Such wide number of options boost growth of Latin America oncology device market. Various companies are also focused on adopting AI to build diagnostic platform for oncology. In April 2021, Varian Medical Systems, a radiation oncology treatments and software maker based in the U.S., partnered with Google Cloud to build an AI-based diagnostic platform to boost cancer radiation therapy.

  Meningococcal vaccines prevent the contraction of meningococcal diseases, including meningitis caused by the bacteria called meningococcus aureus. An outbreak of meningococcal disease is usually followed by an onset of meningitis. Meningococcal meningitis can cause permanent damage to the brain or spinal cord in as little as 10 days, depending on the degree of infection and the natural immunity of the person. Since meningitis is usually associated with a fever and signs and symptoms of a serious illness, many parents prefer not to use the traditional treatments for their children such as meningitis or oral antibiotics.
