DUBLIN, August 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "US Market Report for Internal and External Radiation Therapy Devices" report to their offering.

Radiation therapy (RT) is a type of treatment most commonly used against cancer or to control and kill malignant cells. Typically, X-rays, gamma rays or charged particles (CPs) are the medium used. For oncological applications, RT works by attacking a cancerous cell's DNA. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), the molecules inside a cell that contain and pass along genetic data, is used in the development and operation of all known living organisms and certain viruses. RT works by damaging the DNA of cancerous cells, which leads to an inability for the targeted cells to grow. RT may be administered as either an adjunct or primary treatment therapy.
