Background
Radiotherapy is an important component of cancer treatment. About 50% of all cancer patients will have radiotherapy as part of their treatment plan at one or several occations during the course of illness. All the Nordic countries have an ambition to offer their citizens the best care in the world and to engage as many patients as possible in clinical trials.
In the Nordic countries clinical oncologists cover both medical and radiation oncology and there is a lack of clinical oncologists that are competent in radiation oncology.
