Objective
Cancer is 2nd only to heart disease as cause of death. Along with life expectancy cancer incidence is still going up. Long-term strategies for providing adequate care to the EU citizens are needed. Together with surgery, radiotherapy (RT) remains the most effective instrument for local control of tumours. Non-invasive, organ function and limb preserving, it is the curative treatment of choice for many tumour types and a cheap & highly effective option for palliation & symptom control. QUARTS aims at providing health care authorities with objective criteria for its infrastructure & staffing needs for RT. A quantitative analysis of demands on staff and infrastructure per tumour site & type and of a population- based hierarchy of treatment facilities, adaptable to local epidemiology & staffing costs will assist in prioritising financial resources. An inventory of facilities, their geographic spread & existing national guidelines will be drafted
