Use of Radioactive Tracer in Cancer Diagnosis fuel the Europe Radioactive Tracer Market
Oncology is a significantly developing field in the healthcare sector, as cancer cases are increasing worldwide. According to Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), cancer is the second major cause of death after cardiovascular disorders. The use of advanced materials and drugs in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer has surged with prominent developments in oncology. Radioactive tracer-based imaging is one of the advanced diagnostic methods used to accurately diagnose cancer types, such as prostate cancer, gynecological cancer, and blood-borne cancer. Once injected into the body, these radioactive tracers attach to the cancer-specific sites, accurately diagnosing the cancer type. Tracer also helps determine the cancer development stage, enabling effective treatment and faster recovery in most cases. PET and SPECT are among the nuclear imaging techniques that use gamma emitters for detecting tumors. As the tumor grows, its uptake of the PET and SPECT conjugate increases over time, which improves contrast due to the presence of nuclear imaging agents. This further leads to blood clearance due to which clear diagnostic images can be generated. The most commonly used radioactive tracer for detecting cancer is F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG), a compound similar to glucose or sugar. Cancer cells are highly active and need more energy, i.e., extra glucose, than normal cells. Imaging devices such as PET or SPECT detect this energy released by FDG to create an image showing the location of a radioactive tracer in the body. This helps determine the location of cancerous cells in the patient's body so that the treatment can be tailored according to the type and stage of cancer. Thus, the increasing use of radioactive tracer in cancer diagnostics is anticipated to drive market expansion during the estimated timeframe.
