Analysis of the Pediatric Radiotherapy Landscape in Mexico and a Subsequent Educational e-Contouring Intervention.

Purpose: Mexico and Central America have the highest childhood cancer incidence in the West. Pediatric-specific oncology knowledge contributes to the disparity. We sought to (1) determine the self-identified treatment patterns and needs of Mexican pediatric radiation oncologists and (2) pilot a workshop to improve contouring accuracy.

Mexican radiationdermatitis management consensus.

Background: Radiotherapy (RT) is an essential element in cancer treatment: 50-70% of cancer patients receive RT at some time of the course of their disease. Of these, almost 95% experience some grade of radiation dermatitis (RD). RD can affect patient's quality of life during and after treatment.
