The number of radiation therapy units in Italy declined to 432 radiation therapy units in 2021. Nevertheless, the last two years recorded a significant higher number of radiation therapy units than the preceding years. 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.
