Article Synopsis
- Limited resources for radiation therapy in Latin America have led to an interest in hypofractionated radiotherapy (HRT) as a time- and cost-efficient solution for cancer treatment.
- A panel of Latin American experts discussed key challenges to adopting HRT, including the absence of clinical guidelines, inadequate education and training for personnel, and high equipment costs.
- Recommendations were made to address these barriers, highlighting that increased HRT adoption could improve cancer treatment access and health outcomes in the region, and could also serve as a model for other countries facing similar issues.
