DUBLIN, May 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "South Korea Proton Therapy Market (Actual & Potential), Patients Treated, List of Proton Therapy Centers and Forecast to 2022" report to their offering.

South Korea Proton Therapy Market (Actual & Potential), Patients Treated, List of Proton Therapy Centers and Forecast to 2022 provides a comprehensive assessment of the fast-evolving, high-growth Proton Therapy Market.

South Korea proton therapy market is anticipated to almost three-fold during the period 2016 - 2022. The number of patients treated with Proton Therapy in South Korea is very low whereas; the potential candidates for proton therapy are huge. Unfortunately, the access to proton therapy is limited for a vast population, owing to a low number of proton therapy centers. Hence, many research institutions and hospitals have now started investing in proton therapy to make it more accessible to patients.
