Lancet Oncology Commission on radiotherapy and theranostics – The Lancet Oncology

John Christodouleas, GU Radiation Oncologist at PENN, shared a post by The Lancet Oncology on X, adding:

“We argued:

1. Public and private payers aiming to improve radiotherapy access while controlling costs should incentivize SBRT, yet most create disincentives.

2. No one owns a patent on radiotherapy. The lack of resources directed toward studying its optimal delivery through clinical research is a market failure. Governments must step in to address the disparity between radiotherapy’s critical role in cancer care and the lack of research funding.

3. The latest Lancet Oncology Commission is another tremendous resource for anyone interested in radiotherapy at a systems level.”
