The number of radiation therapy units in France increased by 13 units (+1.71 percent) in 2021. With 775 units, the number of radiation therapy units thereby reached its highest value in the observed period. Radiation therapy equipment describes machines used for treatment with x-rays or radionuclide. By and large, this includes linear accelerators, Cobalt-60 units, Caesium-137 therapy units, low to orthovoltage x-ray units, high dose and low dose rate brachytherapy units and conventional brachytherapy units. Radiation therapy (or radiotherapy) is mostly used in the treatment of cancer, although it can also be used in the treatment of some rare, non-cancerous diseases.
