Expanding Cancer Care
|
Today, cancer is the leading cause of death in Africa, killing more people than HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis combined. Radiating Hope is dedicated to advance cancer care in developing countries, and is addressing the lack of cancer care in Africa.
Radiation therapy is a vital component of most cancer treatments. Approximately 60-70% of all cancer patients in the US will receive some form of radiation therapy. Most people living in developing nations do not have access to this crucial treatment due to a lack of radiation equipment. The worldwide standard for cancer care is that there should be one radiation megavoltage machine for every 100,000 to 200,000 people living in a region. |
No patient should be without potentially life-saving treatment simply because the technology is not affordable. Radiating Hope is changing the landscape of cancer care in developing countries.
