The Lithium Neutron Capture Therapy (Li-NCT) market in Brazil is gaining attention due to increasing government interest in advanced cancer treatments and the expansion of nuclear medicine infrastructure. Major urban hospitals and research centers in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro are exploring neutron-based therapies as part of oncology research. A key driver is the rising prevalence of aggressive and treatment-resistant cancers, particularly glioblastoma and melanoma, for which Li-NCT offers a promising targeted solution. However, the market faces challenges, such as high capital costs for neutron generation equipment and a lack of specialized personnel. Regulatory inertia and limited domestic manufacturing capabilities further hinder market acceleration. Still, Brazil presents a strong opportunity for public-private partnerships and international collaboration, particularly through its growing medical tourism and biotech sectors. With increasing investment in medical technology and cancer treatment innovation, the market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of approximately 7.2% over the forecast period.
