A new article in the journal "Frontiers in Medicine" discusses the significant lack of cancer management resources in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The article emphasizes the challenges faced by patients in these regions, particularly regarding access to radiotherapy due to insufficient infrastructure and trained professionals. It highlights ongoing efforts to enhance medical physics education through continued training opportunities aimed at developing local educational leaders. A framework for optimizing medical physics education tailored to the specific needs of LMICs is presented, with the goal of improving cancer treatment capabilities in these underserved areas.
