Radiotherapy for cancer: quantification of radiation therapy infrastructure and staffing needs (QUARTS)

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
