It affects rapidly dividing cells in the body, particularly in the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract, and central nervous system. Symptoms range from nausea and fatigue to severe organ damage and death, depending on the radiation dose. Immediate medical intervention is crucial for survival, including treatments to boost immune function and reduce radiation damage. The market is experiencing positive growth trends over the forecast period. Advancements in radiation oncology for effective cancer treatment using radiation therapy along with growing approval and adoption of novel therapeutics for acute radiation syndrome are expected to drive the market forward. Furthermore, the increasing investment by key players for development of innovative treatment options is also expected to support the market growth during this time.
