The Radiation Oncology Targeting Cancer campaign aims to increase awareness of radiation therapy as a highly effective and safe treatment for cancer.
1 in 2 cancer patients would benefit from radiation therapy at some time during their cancer experience, however, less than 1 in 3 patients in Australia and New Zealand receive treatment.
By partnering with GPs and using this website to provide detailed information about the utility, rationale, logistics and toxicities of radiation therapy, we aim to improve understanding about radiation oncology and the care of patients undergoing radiation treatment.
