Radiodermatitis is a cutaneous reaction that occurs as a result of irradiation used to treat cancer. Radiodermatitis affects the majority of cancer patients at some point during or after their treatment with radiation. Dry papery skin, pigmentation, peeling, ski rash, and lesions are common symptoms of this illness. The rise in the prevalence of cancer and the usage of irradiation for treatment is driving the worldwide radiodermatitis forward. Furthermore, the growing geriatric population propels the radiodermatitis market forward. Radiodermatitis has become more common as a result of enhanced radiation therapy techniques due to improved quality assurance and consistency in treatment regimens across many facilities. According to the study, more than half of individuals who receive radiotherapy develop radiodermatitis at some time throughout their treatment.  Recent technological advancements and novel treatment regimens have only been successful in partly ameliorating these adverse si

  Drug delivery is the method of administering a pharmaceutical compound (drugs) to achieve a therapeutic effect in both humans and animals. Advanced drug delivery systems (ADDS) refer to technologies used to control the rate of drug release. These systems are improved methods for delivering the drug molecule to the targeted site in a controlled manner. Advanced drug delivery systems offer convenient options to patients , such as easy drug administration, short administration time, dose accuracy, and improved patient adherence. However, the type of the technology used depends on the type of disease , type of drug and desired effect.   Rise in prevalence of chronic diseases, such as cancer, around the world, is expected to provide significant growth opportunities for players in the advanced drug delivery systems. For instance, advanced drug delivery systems are carriers for a wide range of pharmacotherapies used in many applications, including cancer treatment. Thus, with the in

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR ) technology is a simple yet powerful nucleic acid-targeting editing tool for genome. It allows researchers to easily alter DNA sequences and modify gene function. It has potential applications, which include correcting genetic defects, treating, and preventing the spread of diseases. The technology is faster, cheaper, and more accurate than previous techniques of editing DNA such as ZFNs (Zinc Finger Nucleases) and TALENs (Transcription Activator-Like Effector Nucleases). Researchers are focusing on its use in animal models or isolated human cells, with the aim to eventually use the technology for routinely treating diseases in humans. Furthermore, competition among the existing players has increased owing to technological developments and their potential applications. There has been an increased focus on the highly adaptable CRISPR technology. For instance, as of May 2020, Merck KGaA has received a total of 26 CRISPR p

  Phototherapy is the use of light to treat various skin disorders such as psoriasis and vitiligo, among others. During the procedure, the skin is exposed to a highly specific form of light emitted by a medical equipment. This gadget is commonly referred to as a phototherapy unit. These phototherapy systems range from handheld to desktop devices for spot treatment of small regions to cabinets to walk-in units for full-body treatment. The rise in the frequency of newborn jaundice is one of the key factors projected to accelerate the growth and demand for phototherapy equipment. Furthermore, an increase in the number of preterm and low-weight babies, as well as an increase in the prevalence of skin. The introduction of technologically sophisticated phototherapy equipment, as well as the widespread use of LED-based phototherapy equipment, are also expected to boost phototherapy equipment growth. Furthermore, the increased awareness of sophisticated phototherapy and the development of h
