Background
Cancer is a disease that affects about one third of the population in the Western World, which means about 10 millions new cancer patients per year and that there is an increase of about 3% per year. Despite this is it an increasing number of patient cured which is mainly due to improvements in diagnostic and treatment methods.
The main treatment methods are surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. A typical cancer treatment is often a combination of these methods. The number of patients cured is on average about 50%. With the development of better diagnostic and therapeutic methods and products has the number of patients cured increased more within radiotherapy compared to the other methods and this trend is expected to increase within the next years.
